Yes, those 705 pickups sound good in most any steel I've seen them in.

Thanks John D. and Rick K. I agree that a good humbucker is a nice "tweak". I have tried several pickups in the Magnum over the years. I like the pickups that are currently installed: an Alu ...

I've owned this Magnum for about 15 years.
It is an excellent guitar.

Derrick, I don't play a lot of gigs, but I still play pedal steel at maybe a dozen or so a year. In fact, I played at Amelia Island this past Sunday for "Get Closer", a Linda Ronstadt tribut ...

Wow, that's a great looking Fulawka steel with 9 x 5. And, it is quite a good price, in my opinion.

You always have some very nice (and very cool) steel guitars, Johnie. 🎶🎵🎶

That is beautiful! I look forward to seeing it, once it is completed and with "all the bells and whistles" on it.

Excellent choice, Damir.

Thanks for that response, Dave.
I was wondering about the X10, because I have one in my Magnum (by Carter), and it is, by far, the best I've had in that guitar.

Thanks, Dave. I've heard push-pulls with George L E66 pickups, and they sounded very good. Glad to hear that the 10-1 does, also. 🙂

First, I will say that I doubt than any pickup will sound better on E9th than the original Emmons single coil. The issue is when there is a venue problem that makes the single coil hum too loud for me ...

Quentin, I have two XR-16s

1st is 28.4k ohms

2nd is 29.7k ohms

I have read that XR-16s ohms are usually in the range of 25k to 30k ohms.

(Also, 'honorable mention' for Lawrence 710 or XR16 on a push pull or other brands of steel guitars. Pic is an XR16 on E9th neck of my '72 PP.)
