Lollar '50s Wind P-90 vs Throbak '52/'54 SB MXV P-90

yes and the overall height of the P90. I have a les paul special and a junior w/ p90s and haven't found much info . Thanks

No worries.

Lollar says to set theirs as close to the strings as possible without them actually touching the strings when you press the highest fret.

But when I do that, the neck P-90 seems much louder than the bridge. So I go for setting the neck 4/64 and the bridge 2/64 away from the strings when you press the highest fret.

From there, I adjust each polepiece to taste, basically following the radius of the neck.

I've had three sets of Throback pickups. One came in a LPC I bought, one a friend gave me, and I bought a set. I sold all three within a month or two of owning them. I wouldn't buy anything from them but people seem to love them, so I'm probably wrong.

I have had two guitars with Lollar P-90s. An old ES-330 that someone had put Super Distortion pickups in and costed me $450 and a custom made one of a kind CR4 that I ended up selling to the guy in the food fighters.

The Lollars (IMHO) are a little more hi-fi for lack of a better term than the old ones. I really like the way they sound, especially when recording because they have a little more clarity, but they are less raw, so some may not like that.

YMMV.
