Hi All,

My uncle, Jack Needham, who makes beautiful acoustic guitars under the name Square Deal Guitar has recently started making lap steels. He's building a custom one to my specs and I'm wondering what people think about Lollar pickups, Sentell pickups, and anybody else that makes a good seven-string pickup. Tonewise I prefer more of a Gibson sound than a Fender but I'm pretty open. I'd love some thoughts! Thanks!

Jason Lollar's pickups are as fine as any I've ever had the pleasure of using. No experience with Sentell, though.

Another thumbs up for Lollar. There may be other fine pickups out there but none better.

I had Jerry Sentell make me a thinline pickup for my 2pup rig and I was very satisfied. I have no experience with his more mainstream products.

Jerry Sentell made me this excellent P-90 for a mid-1950s Gibson lap steel:




It works fine for me. For further discussion:
