These sound similar to G&L S-500 pickups, both in terms of construction and tonal quality. It would cool to see a comparison between these the S-500 MFD pickups.
@jackiec3973 that’s an excellent comparison - I’ve not played the S-500 version but have played ASATs with the MFD and if the S-style is comparable, I bet these are birds of a feather.
The Steel Pole pups sound cool. I also love Lindy's alnico High Output Strat set. The bridge has plenty of juice, but they sound a little strattier than the steel poles.
Hi there, great to see someone talking about these. I was literally just looking at them online last night. I'm a blues player, primarily using distortion from the hot channel of my Delta Blues amp. Are these a good fit for blues? Love to hear opinions on this, and thanks... !
The Chocolate Pudding strat with the brass saddles SCREAMS the '70s. LOVE IT. Cool Mathew Sweet song too. I've been eyeballing these pickups for some time, but I may have to get them now. But they don't show the overwind option. I'll have to email and see if they have it.
Thank you! It's just a riff I like to play for testing things. The chords are wide and there's some mix of separation between notes that I like to hear.
Im not saying its a dead on exact reproduction of a rickenbacker, bc its not, but theres something VERY 1960s Hippie band with a Ricker when you were playing it clean. I have a set of strat size A5 P-90s. Very diff from these. I think the added ummph of the ceramics must be the diff bc mine also have a pillowy mids thing, but in a diff band of the mids. Def a diff mid hump on mine. They appealed to my "mad scientist/ cant leave anything alone or as is/ always trying to imagine the next best thing ever" gene/chromosome/mental illness😂. Had mine in a white 91 strat for a year or so and now the neck and bridge are on a pickguard in my mountains of stuff, and the neck is pulling neck duty frankentele. Its actually is a cool middle position tone w the broadcaster bridge pup. Thanks for the vid.
i haven't dedicated my playing to banging out 5th chords through high gain pedals since i was 15, pretty much around the time i last attempted to "impress" someone by hinting i read books-wow

Love hearing all of this, Lindy's stuff is so great!

Interesting because I am thinking of putting one in the bridge position of my G&L S500
Lindy is the man!!

I love them for that. The neck model reminds me of the P-90 an ES-125 I played, and the bridge has heft and crunch.
Just seeing this. Love it.
What kind of bridge do you have on that strat?
Looks like a vintage MannMade USA trem. John Mann designed. Did the original PRS trems.
@@thrill74 @charliehshaw correct - it's the Mannmade USA trem for vintage strats (6 post)
Very interesting ! .....Thank you sir !

Ki;ller demo! Whatever you were playing around 5:45 was on fire. What was that?
Thank you! It's just a riff I like to play for testing things. The chords are wide and there's some mix of separation between notes that I like to hear.
@@CarolineGuitarCo good point. That second chord is going into my repertoire and I'll remember that it works for testing tones too.
That bridge tone is beautiful...did you hapoen to mention pot and cap sizes
hey! This thing is running 250k volume and a 250k no-load pots. The cap is an old Sprague 10nf.
Matthew Sweet, nice!
Luv seeing the WCV1 getting a run.
Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC riff on the notch position demo!

thank you! I had not noticed that but I can hear it as you pointed it out
Dang those sound great! Lindy is the man!
Are those steel pole pickups hum cancelling?
Driving me nuts trying to figure out what you’re playing for the bridge pickup demo… is that a Big Star jam?
"I've Been Waiting" by Matthew Sweet maybe?
XTC! Respect :-)
