Neil Young ?

I can only think of Brian May and Chuck Berry right now. Who else? Cochran and Buddy Holly don't count, not enough time for being infected with GAS.

I want to place a Tele neck pickup on a 24.75 bolt-on neck project.

Exact enough so that I can know how far from the neck pickup the saddles are on average. I guess the better question would be how far from the nut the neck pickup is.

I mean between the saddles and the center of the neck pickup? Thanks

Wasn't Green using a McCarthy (pickguard) pickup here?

I guess that's the point of Joe Gore in that statement. If you lose a little bit of clarity in the bridge position by designing a louder bridge pickup to balance it with the neck, it's not a good idea.

I'm quoting Joe Gore here. What do you think ? And what does he think? Edit: Joe Gore said that in the context of having the exact same pickup (Lollar Charlie Christian) for both bridge and neck positions as there's no CC bridge pickup available. Here, at 2 min :

Any more experience with this pickup ?

e???, I've read many of your comments about P90s and you seem to be super experienced with them. I only know the P90 on my 1950's ES-125. - do you still stand by the idea that the SD Antiquity is the closest to 50's P90 and "the better sounding, more musical P-90 pickup" ? - any idea of what...

I didn't mention it was for a Gibson Melody Maker (1965 with missing pickups), anyway I'll probably make the jump. I can imagine that a CC pickup near the bridge has a certain coherence, maybe more than near the neck in fact. When I look at Lollar's tone chart for his Charlie Christian pickup...

I know Gibson lap steel guitars had one in the 1930's, but for a standard guitar, has anyone tried it?

I don't care if it's out of balance in terms of output with the other two pickups. I'm considering giving that middle pickup its own circuit with its own output.

I want to add a middle pickup on my Melody Maker. Both bridge and neck pickups are Gibson humbuckers. I know I'll never get that Tele neck sound but I'd like to get as close as possible in that direction. Sweet bright tone with a with a certain vocal quality. What pickup would you recommend...

I looked at the frequency chart of the FIrebird at Lollar's site. It looks pretty similar to the chart of his Gold foil pickup interestingly. A little bit more bass and attack on the Gold Foil. The map is not the territory though.

Some use gold foil pickups (or Guyatone versions) with pleasing results seemingly.

Have you had the chance to compare this Lollar pickup with any real P90 ?

Nice mod.

Same Pat Travers mod here.

And why? And why not? Modded?

I'm sure it plays great, possibly better than any Gretsch Duo Jet. But i don't find the body shape as nice and harmonious as the original model.

Has anyone tried a Guyatone gold foil in the bridge position?

There's a dedicated offset fender version. This company is either silly or confident about their designs. https://www.goeldo.de/en/tremolos-und-parts/goeldo-tremolos-et-al./3711/goeldo-dg-tremolo-for-offset-guitars-in-jm/jg-style?c=296
