| ...should a PP with an E-66 sound darker and more mid-rangy than an"identical"(both black)guitar with a stock single coil PU?I got'em both here-same everything,except for the pickups...I haven't heard a PP with a single coil in so long(whiny engineers)I can't remember them being so much brighter...thanks. |

Steve - I used to play an early 80's S-12 p/p. There were a couple of venues we played at where the hum and buzz were just terrible. I ended up installing an E-66 in my guitar and loved it. I had to bring up the treble just a notch on the amp, but other than that the tone, to my ear, was the same. Great sound without the buzz and hum.

| Lee,I recorded both guitars here at the house last nite after I posted.There didn't seem to be a nickel's worth of difference between them when I listened back...I think you're right-I could bump the treble up a tad and they would be VERY close...they sounded real different listening thru an amp,but thru the Pod and out of the monitors they were closer...I don't know!I guess that's why I don't sit around A-Bing stuff all the time...it would drive me crazy...thanks. |

| Hey Steve, how are ya? I've been using E-66's in both of my guitars since 1988, and they are a great pickup to me. They will sparkle with the best of them, plus you don't get the single coil hum at loud volumes. Shoot me a line sometimes, take care buddy! Eddie |

| The only thing.I have Emmons single coils ranging 13 to 19.5.So I'm just guessing the E66 sounds a lot like an Emmons single coil at around 15???? ..........bb |
