Since the metal cover on a Telecaster neck pickup adds grittiness to the sound, Lollar specially designed a custom open-top pickup cover for Royal T to emulate the Stratocaster neck tone. Lollar also use a special selection of magnet type and length, a unique wind, and 42-gauge heavy build coil wire typically used on Strat pickups. The result is a deeper, clearer, and punchier Strat-colored sound that combines the best of Blonde and Sixty-Four pickup tones. Try mixing it with Vintage T or Special T Series bridge pickups for spectacular results. Made with Alnico 5 magnets and vintage style cloth covered lead wire. Avg. DC: neck 6.2K, recommended potentiometers: 250k, recommended capacitor: 0.047μF.
