By the way, my Dual Pro will just slice through the mix if the treble is turned up. Do you happen to know why the traps only lasted a couple of years? What was the general opinion of this guitar when it first came out. Jody, I really enjoy reading your replies.
I would go with either of those two people. I never did ask about that,good point and now you have me thinking. But some are still laughing not at, but with.ĭont know about the covers used as a shield device,most players would remove the covers anyway to mute the strings. '95 MELOBAR CUSTOM, 1955 FENDER TRIPLE NECK STRINGMASTER. '73 EMMONS D10 FATBACK, '92 EMMONS D10 LASHLEY LEGRANDE, See Jeff's post on "unwavering desire for good tone" under this heading. Who's laughing now, LOL?Īs far as Rick horseshoes, I think they are in a class of their own, but thats what I like about them. Jody, I read somewhere that the "ashtray" covers on the Broadcaster, Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision bass, and Jazz Bass were designed with shielding in mind, am I right? And would the design of all of those guitars be "trickle down" technology from the first K&F and Fender Lap steel designs? If you look at the very first Fender Broadcaster, it looks very similar to a lap steel, with a bolt on round neck. "Your beautiful embossed membership card will be in the mail shortly, along with your Stringmaster keychain, ball cap, and autographed picture of Leo Fender." Hey Herb, I'm still waiting for my SOG Welcome Kit, LOL. In other words the string vibrations are encased within the pickup,like holding the sound and keeping it Im not certain about the Rickenbackers design,but they do sound great. There are no others quite the same in design. If this is very important to you,I can dig out the orginal specs and description as well as Leo application for a patent,but its buried,but I can do it if you want. I block with my finger picks so it dont bother me. Some people dis-like them because of the blocking problem I like the S/M sound as well,but the DS pickups have a heavier sound. Leo Fender and others thought that design by far was the best Fender ever did and I agree. Thats the reason as they age that shield deteriorates and it rattles.That can be repaired or replaced.Lindy Fralin did one for me. It picks up the string as such and the vibration stay inside Is the reason for that plastic shield that is inside of the pickup. The strings are completly surrounded as the strings go though the so called "tunnel".That
The string vibrations are isolated within theĭirect through design,whereas the open pickups are not.The direct meaning just that. What's the design philosophy in having the strings run through the pickup? Is it necessary to have the strings "covered" like that? What purpose does the covering of the strings serve? It's not a magnet like the Rickenbacher's is.is it? You guessed it.hey what's your email address? What did you get, anyway? I would guess a D8 shorty? That gave way to my current 57 triple, which I love.
Over the next day or two I proceeded to play my fingers raw! I had been tracking it via UPS for days, and I was so excited I took the day off so I could rush down and pick it up the minute it arrived. I remember getting my first D8 in the mail one day two summers ago. Seriously, though- you are now an owner of what many of feel to be the greatest-sounding steel guitar built. Your beautiful embossed membership card will be in the mail shortly, along with your Stringmaster keychain, ball cap, and autographed picture of Leo Fender. I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Stringmaster Owner's Group, otherwise known as SOG. It looked like it was thrown off Mauna Loa. I got my first Stringmaster in the mail today. I have always liked the tone of the trapezoid.don't know why it's not used more in Hawaiian. Rickenbackers I dont beleive they are similar in design,but nevertheless both designs are priceless in todays market.ĭid I ever mention that I think that third leg was the best design ever? Nah just kidding This is a good question,maybe someone with knowledge can help. Type sound,whereas the Traps have a bright & I would say the Rickenbackers have a fuller Dodger Blue Foreverįrom the standpoint on a non technical guy, Question for you experts: Do these have any design simularities to the Ricky horseshoe pick-ups?įrom: The Knight Of Fender Tweed. These are string through design and have an incredible tone.
