What Do We Think?

Lollar’s mini humbuckers are the perfect way to split the difference between single coils and traditional humbuckers. While they take on some of the eloquence and transparency of a single coil, they also indulge in the punch and power intrinsic to a humbucker.

The neck position in particular has the sweetness on top that you might associate with the neck position on a strat. And it has a nuance to the midrange that even allows you to roll back the tone knob without losing clarity. Yet it also has that rounder, smoother attack of a humbucker, with all the aforementioned qualities combined into one remarkable package.

The middle position is crisp and clear. It makes the absolute most of your clean tones while tailoring the top end in a most pleasing way. The attack is tight and articulate, really encouraging your best inner funk to come to light.

The bridge delivers a tinge of twang over the typical honk of a humbucker. Rolling back the tone will get you into PAF territory. But enjoying the pickup wide open is equally rewarding, delivering a blend of classic rock and country tones that love to stay on top in a mix.

How Does It Play?

The PX6 neck profile is a nice 50’s round C that starts with a moderate depth and fills out the hand nicely as you arrive at the upper frets. The fretwork is impeccable. The string action is nice and low without any fretbuzz. It measures just 4/64” on the low E string at the 12^th fret and nearly down to 3/64” on the high E!
