Tim Lerch - Lollar Charlie Christian Bridge Middle and Neck Demo

A demo of the Lollar Charlie Christian Pickups in my #2 Nocaster. 5 way switch with a standard Strat type wiring. Played Clean thru a Blues Jr at low volume. I am going to get it wired so I can get Bridge and Neck together tele style as well, look for this wiring in a future vid.

Tim, I just put a Lollar CC in my spruce/mahogany custom tele, and it sounds great! Is it normal to be noisier than the stock singlecoil tele pickup? Also, what gauge strings do you use? Does it depend on which tele you are using, or does one size fit all? Thanks.

@boowannabe The CC is a bit noisier than a standard tele single coil, it;s more like a P90 in that regard. On this guitar I'm using 12-52 strings on my other CC tele I use 11-50. Thanks for listening hope you have a great time with your new CC set.

Based on your video demos, I put a lollar CC humbucker in my epiphone super nova and a lollar imperial in the bridge. The tone is amazing, I was thinking of selling this guitar earlier, but now it's so good to play. I have another guitar with stacked P90s which do not excite me, I am thinking Lollar P90s, again based on your demos. To get the 3 CC set up are there any tele models that have the body for these pickups or will you need to do a mod on the body? I like the 62 Japanese reissue.

@theot71

whether its for P90s or CC's you need to make a P90 size route. there may be some universal routed teles but I don't think that would be deep enough. so plan on doing some cutting.

Hi, is the bridge pickup in the video the one called Lollar B.S. for tele?

[telebasher]

@Rhodes73 Yes it is the BS, i got it before they named it.

Wow, Even that bridge pickup is completely warm. Love it.

Aw man, you must listen to Ted Greene. You can just hear it. Beautiful playing! I was just listening to his (only) album earlier and now I stumble across this. What luck!

[BasementShopGuy]

Damn, that was nice.

[bluegrasstraders]

Your demo is so very useful and professional. Outstanding and thank you!

[disavowed101]

that bridge pickup is ridiculously warm and clear!

[veitchy88]

Good God Man! Amazing playing and tone for days! Do you record in a group or play for fun?

@telebasher

Damn, how do you bend that well on 12's? I can barely handle 11's...

[boowannabe]

@telebasher Thanks, Tim. I'm using 11 RW's on my "jazz" tele, but am thinking of moving up to 12's. I normally use 10's on my "rock/blues/country" tele's, but I really prefer a meatier string for jazz. I hope Jason is paying you well for your endorsement, 'cause that's the reason I bought my CC! Your beautiful playing and thorough examples sold me. (and probably a lot of other people!) God Bless!

Hey Tim,

I was thinking about getting the humbucker mount for my Gibson Flying V's neck position. It sounds great on your Tele's, but then again that's with alder or most likely ash.

You got a good idea on if it'll sound good in this case?
