Nuevos Lollar Regal humbucker (Wide Range)

[Rodrigo Gonzalez]

 

The Fender Wide Range style humbucker is an important part of many Fender guitars that incorporate a humbucker in their design. In 2004 Fender re-issued a number of guitars that use the wide range humbucker, including the Telecaster Deluxe, the Telecaster Thinline, and the Tele Custom. These re-issue era Fender wide range humbuckers are different than the original Fender wide range humbuckers – in terms of internal construction and sound.

After several years of research (and debating if the cost of tooling would be worth it), we’ve come up with a reproduction of the wide range pickup that sounds and functions almost identically to the originals. In fact, we actually prefer ours. The Lollar version of the wide range humbucker style pickup sounds a little bit clearer than the vintage version. Partly because our pickup covers are made out of slightly thinner material, which reduces the dampening of tone that metal pickup covers can sometimes cause. The original Fender wide range humbuckers had the same winding specs for the neck and bridge. We’ve decided to vary ours a little from neck to bridge, for better volume and tone balance.

We make the custom sized bobbins in our shop. The covers, base plates, lead wire, and magnet wire are made to spec for us in the US. Our new covers will be engraved with the Lollar logo and will be available in nickel, chrome, and gold.

 

The new Lollar wide range humbucking style pickups will likely be available in early September. Make sure to watch this blog for more information – we will announce when they are ready for purchase.

 

Estaría bárbaro si los hacen como se debe, sin embargo no leí nada de CuNiFe en el release de prensa, lo cual me hace oler que no lo van a usar...

Espero que sean posta porque compro un par.

Por ahí había leído que entre el CuNiFe y el Alnico V no hay grandes defierencias en términos de sonido. el tema era que con el primero se podían hacer los tornillos que conforman los polos porque era posible mecanizarlo mientras que al alnico no. Cuando busqué en su momento algo que se pareciera a los originales WR llegué a la conclusión que los Lace Hemi eran los que más se parecían (de los Rio Grande no encontré una sola review de usuarios). En fin, esperemos que estos anden como prometen. Ahí volvería a interesarme una tele thinline '72
