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 Seth Lover Model (SH-55)
“On the other hand, the Alnico 2 CC and Seth Lover N has a great tone, which is a tad darker, but a little less crystal clear sounding.”
“If you take a Seth Lover and wind it hotter you’ll make it dark and looser.”
