Alumitone 3.5 Tone Bar's are flat wide range very desireable for steel guitar 8 string set up.
Easy to install, coil split able and most important , extremely HUM Resistant , 30% louder than typical single coils.
Alumitones are made by LACE Pickups in Los Angeles California. Many online dealers of these.
Hope this helps you.

| My Remington C6 has a George L E66 wound like a Fender Stringmaster, and I've always liked it a lot. For my George Board kit that I built for E13, I wound up trying a George L PF1 Paul Franklin pup, and I've really fallen in love with it. The E66 is more in your face, yet mellower tone, but then the pickup is almost in a neck position on the guitar, and definitely has that old Fender tone, and the PF1 is brighter, smoother, more pedal steel like in tone, and not surprisingly, it is quite a bit closer to the bridge, so placement does have a lot to do with tone. I've always been a BL 705 fan, but for what I'm doing on both of these guitars, I'm right in the zone and have do plans on changing them. I did match caps in both guitars and used good, musical caps, which helped a lot, and they keep the tone the same all the way through the radius of the volume pot. They run around $90 give or take. |
