I am looking at changing pickups out in an Emmons push pull. I have a set of Alumitone, set of BL 710 and a set of Truetone. Anyone have any experience with any of these in an Emmons PP?

I'd go with the Trutone.

| Truetone on the E9 neck in my Emmons PP sounds very good. |

A microphonic single coil and a BL 805 that sounds too fat for my taste.

I totally agree with you Craig, regarding the BL 805 being too fat and dark. About 35 yrs ago, I had BL 805s for a very short time on both necks of one guitar. I quickly swapped them out for 705s which were much better to my ear.
Given the choice of pickups you have on hand right now, I too would go with the TrueTone single coils as I agree with what b0b stated. |
