Lap Steel Pickup Recommendation

Postby Mr Bassman » Sun Jun 27, 2021 12:34 pm

I've got a Fender FS-52 which I quite like but would benefit from a pickup upgrade as the stock one sounds thin.
It needs to be a flat pole Strat bridge type.
There's a Seymour Duncan Vintage Flat Strat 2- phase SL2 which might do.
Any suggestions welcome.

Hi Keith,
I fitted a “Warman Mississippi Steamer” Telecaster bridge pickup to one of my homemade lap steels and it sounds pretty good. They’re available on eBay for £17.30p. String spacing is 10.3 mm.
Hope this helps,
Another Keith.
