TEISCO GUITAR WITH 4 POTS MOD

bridge position) here's how I'd describe them: Now, bearing in mind that my pickups are mounted on different types of guitars (2 lap steels, and 1 Thinline and one solidbody electric guitar), and in different spots (neck vs. I've got two of the Vintage Vibe CC-style pickups - but unfortunately NOT in a lap steel - one is the HB-sized model in the neck position on a Thinline Tele, the other is the narrow 'CC Rider' in the neck spot on a solidbody Tele (BTW, those are not 'real' Charlie Christian-pickups, they are kind of a cross between a P90 and a 'real' one.).ДЄnd I've got a Supro Supreme lap steel from 1952, with a string-thru pickup at the bridge, and another lap steel with a Lollar Chicago Steel 8-string pickup (the Chicago Steel is supposed to emulate the sound of the Valco string-thru PU, but with a different kind of construction - and they do really sound very similar), also at the bridge. I can kind of answer your question, but not precisely. I need something with clarity and character. I put a Lindy Fralin strat single coil in my cheapo Artisan and it improved clarity but sounded pretty sterile.

Not really what I think of with the Teisco pickup.

However, it's $$ and the opinions I've read of these old pickups rave about how they sound dirty for raunchy bluesy stuff. So, I dont' want to butcher the Teisco for the pickup, but I'd like to find something with similar character to fit in the humbucker slot of my Fouke.ДЄfter reading many descriptions, the Vintage Vibe humbucker sized 'Charlie Christian' single-coils seem like they could work:ДЄlso, the Lollar string-through Valco looks interesting. If anyone knows what pots they used in these vintage Teisco's, please let me know. It also has very low friction volume and tone pots that have far superior curves. The Teisco has an ideal 'Hawaiian' sound, at least to me. I've noticed that it doesn't push my tube preamp into overdrive as easily as the lesser volumed humbucker. It's also more bold and has a better singing tone. It's a single coil but is slightly louder than the aforementioned humbucker. I'm not all that keen on the humbucker sound and the coil-tap single coil sound is pretty week as is usually the case with tapped humbuckers (or so I've read).ДЄ pickup that I really like is one that I got on a vintage 60's teisco. The current pickup is a Kent Armstrong humbucker with coil-tap switch. My frankensteel is a Fouke Indy Rail with a core slab of mahogany (they are usually hollow) with a multibender system, string-through mod, and locking tuners.

I've sold a few things and am unwisely looking to mod a lap steel when I should be saving money.
