Trapezoidal pickups early Fifties compared to early 60’s -70’s looking for Eddie Rivers tone. Thanks for your help.

Hmmmm, not sure what the question is but what i seen Eddie playing was a '60s Deluxe not a '50s trap pickup one. I'm absolutely positive that he would sound great on either one though. My pref and the one i got is a '50 with the trap though, its a very special guitar with THE tone.

There are lots of Youtubes with Eddie playing a variety of guitars. If you post the one you like best it might be possible to give some feedback.

That being said, the common denominator is the hands. Eddie's got an especially good pair!
