A Word About Steel Guitar PickupsThere is a SCIENCE to guitar pickups. Most guitar manufacturers simply buy the necessary equipment and wind their own pickups, but they do not design nor understand what makes superb tone in a pickup. Also, different guitar materials sound better with different pickups. It is a science. and Jerry Wallace know what they are doing and make some of the finest pickups available today. As far as steel guitar, as far as I know (but call them if you're interested). Bill Lawrence pickups are special indeed, and it's not just manufacturer hype. I've played steel guitar since 1992 and Bill Lawrence pickups have a wonderfully rich tone. It's a hotter pickup (meaning louder), but it also has depth of tone that I love. Granted, different guitars and different materials (wood verses mica) will sound different with different pickups. It's best to ask the guitar manufacturer or other players what they like best. It's all preference, like everything else, but I can say confidently that Bill Lawrence pickups stand apart from the rest IMHO.
