A warmer, fuller tone from the Lollar mini-humbucker in the neck, a bright and articulate sound from the Lollar middle single coil, and a punchy, snappy attack from the Lollar bridge pickup, allowing for a wide range of tones depending on which pickup(s) are selected and how they are blended together. 

Similar to the pickups found in ‘70s-era Les Paul® Deluxes, our Mini-Humbuckers draw heavily from our standard Imperials®, but the Minis have lower output, less low end and a tighter attack. We’ve also minimized the microphonics commonly found in the 1970s originals to help reduce feedback issues.

Avg. DC: Neck 6.6K, Middle 6.7K, Bridge 7.2K  all 3 pickups $600

Key characteristics of neck Mini-Humbucker :

Warm and smooth neck tone:

The mini-humbucker in the neck position provides a fuller, warmer sound with less pronounced highs compared to a standard single coil, ideal for smooth chords and lead lines with a bit more body and bass.

Bright and articulate middle tone:

The single coil in the middle position offers a clear, articulate sound with a brighter character, perfect for clean rhythm playing and adding definition to your tone. It's a perfect reactive pickup when played simultaneously with another pickup. A combination sounding quacky and a good choice for slide playing.

Punchy and cutting bridge tone:

Lollar bridge humbucker pickup delivers a snappy attack with a bright edge, ideal for cutting through the mix with strong rhythm playing and lead lines with bite.

Versatility:

  • Clean tones:
  • By using a mix of pickups, you can achieve a balanced, clean sound with good clarity across the frequency spectrum. 
  • Crunch and overdrive:
  • When pushed with distortion, the combination can provide a nice blend of warmth from the neck pickup, cutting edge from the bridge, and articulation from the middle pickup. 

How the pickup combination works together:

Positional versatility:

Depending on which pickup or combination of pickups you select, you can quickly switch between a warmer neck tone, a bright middle tone, or a cutting bridge tone. 

Blending options:

When using the middle position with all pickups selected, you can blend the characteristics of each pickup, creating a unique, balanced sound.


How does the sound vary based on pickup selection?

Neck and middle:

A blend of warm and articulate tones, good for smooth rhythm playing and jazzy sounds. 

Middle and bridge:

A brighter, more percussive sound with good clarity, suitable for funk and country styles. 

Neck and bridge:

A combination of warmth and punch, offering a versatile tone for a variety of playing styles. Variable

All three pickups:

This combination can create a "quack" sound, similar to a traditional Stratocaster, with a unique blend of tones from all three pickups.

The Neck: A Warmoth Roasted Maple Neck with INDIAN ROSEWOOD Fretboard:

  • INDIAN ROSEWOOD fretboard: known for their warm, rich, and balanced sound. This type of Rosewood is a popular choice for fretboards, because it’s versatile, and has a deep, resonant tone. This Warmoth fretboard is a Dark Chocolate Brown, with darker streaks.


Roasted Maple is maple that has been heat treated to remove sugars, moisture, and other impurities that can affect its stability. The result is a neck that is slightly lighter than normal and extremely stable. Because of its enhanced stability a finish is not required, making it the maple of choice for those who prefer the smooth, quick feel of natural wood. The roasting process also brings out a beautiful caramel color in the wood.

Neck-$435


Stainless Steel Frets:

This is our premium fret wire. Stainless Steel frets feel faster and smoother than Nickel/Silver, and also last much longer before fret work is needed. There is no discernable difference in tone. This top-quality, German-made Jescar fretwire is rated at HV 300 (+/-20) on the Vickers hardness scale.

This guitar body has a very warm and crisp sound. It is built light and resonant for sustaining notes. The treble bleed circuit keeps it clear with a good strong signal all the way down. You can add extra bass with the tone controls. The middle pickup is a RWRP which is wired like a humbucker in positions 2 and 4 on the 5-way switch. Overall, a great choice for many styles and genres. Because of its very light weight, it is extremely and comfortable to play all night long.

Note from the owner: In performance, like most Lollar pickups, they sound sweet, when played clean, and snarl, when played dirty! This guitar barks with authority, whatever the style. Played acoustically, you can hear (and feel) the natural sustain and volume! Plug in, and, clean solos will sing, overdriven (or fuzzed-out) solos will howl! Slide guitar is a revelation: a little OD and compression will have your solos singing and sustaining like never before! Fun Fact: played clean, the Neck pickup delivers excellent and righteous Smooth Jazz tones: it's dark, but, articulate! In ALL positions, this guitar is extremely quiet! Solo gigs in a posh Fine-Dine? No problem!
