What players and reviewers say
On the Lollar Imperial Low Wind
“I purchased a PRS Singlecut Trem used that had the Imperial low winds in it. Initially, I was a little disappointed that the original pickups weren't included, but am completely sold on the Lollars. They excel in every area, from ultra clean to gritty.”
On the Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro (APH-1)
“The 490r/490t set is closest to the A2P.”
Comparing with Gibson 490R "Modern Classic", Gibson 490T "Modern Classic", Seymour Duncan 59 Model (SH-1)
“Highs are a little sweet and lows are spongey but not flabby.”
