Lollar Specials

[Brad Scott]

Thinking about buying a Strat already loaded with Lollar Specials, but have never heard them before. Lollar's site describes the Specials as higher output pickups with a deep thick tone, round highs, and smooth bottom that approaches a "Gibsonish" attack and sustain. Less quack than other, lower output strat pickups when in positions 2 and 4. Neck 6.7K, Middle 7.1K, Bridge 7.6K.

Since I still want to retain some of those classic Strat tones would these not be the pickups for me, or are there definitely some great vintage sounds to be had with the Specials?


Thanks
