Anyone have an SD Lil59, or similar for Strat?

Post by rickenbackerkid »

Hi, I currently have a DiMarzio Super Distortion in my Strat Bridge. It's a killer pickup, but just too hot for me. I can get a great distortion humbucker sound but when I go to a clean it's just not quite right. Keen for a much lower output single coil sized humbucker.

Sigh. Where were you when I twice had Lil59s to sell and nobody was interested? :roll:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

an SD Lil59 for a Strat? I'd say that was a good deal....
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
