LOLLAR PICKUPS - Stratocaster Comparison

TIMESTAMPS BELOW

In this video, we compare and contrast our four most popular Stratocaster pickup sets: the Vintage Tweed, Vintage Blonde, Sixty-Four, and Special S. We installed these pickups into a Jason Lollar-built Strat-style guitar. Each set is played through a Blackpanel Fender Deluxe Reverb amp model, both clean and with a little dirt from a Klon Centaur clone. All five pickup selection positions (bridge, bridge and middle, middle, middle and neck, and neck) are played to showcase their tonal characteristics, relative output, frequency response, dynamic response, sustain, and overall reaction to player input.

While all of these sets deliver brilliant and instantly recognizable Strat tones, they each offer their own particular strengths, giving players the advantage of choosing which one fits their niche, when it comes to their own individual needs. And the individual pickups are all very complementary to one another, allowing for mixing and matching to create customized sets to help you maximize tonal flexibility in your personal tone pursuit, such as our Special Blonde and Special Sixty-Four sets.
