Fender Squier Strat & Lollar Loaded Pickguard Charlie Christian Neck Chicago Steel For Strat Bridge

We are Eclectic Sounds / aka: eclsounds – a store front in Portland, Or. We are open 7 days a week from 11 – 5 PST (by appointment)

Used in good condition.

 This is a super cool guitar. The body has a subtle sparkle finish, very cool. The neck is straight and feels great. The real standout is the pickup combination. 

Lollar Charlie Christian pickup in the neck position and a Chicago Steel in the bridge position. Jason Lollar wired this pickgaurd himself in the early 2000’s.

If you want a strat with a unique vibe, it doesn’t get better than this.

Charlie Christian

We’ve stayed true to the original voicing of the pickups that Charlie Christian played. Compared to other large single-coils, our Charlie Christian pickups sound warmer, with wider dynamic range and more touch sensitivity. They have very little compression and a flat EQ response. This neck pickup is made for solidbody guitars.

Chicago Steel for Strat

Intended for use as a bridge pickup—though it sounds more like a neck pickup—the Chicago Steel is specially designed for slide players. Based on specific 1940s era Oahu, Valco, and Supro lap steel pickups, you get that classic Hound Dog Taylor sound with touch sensitive, over the top output. The tone remains distinct even with heavy amp distortion with none of the sharp treble usually associated with Strat bridge pickups. Installation usually requires minor routing and slight pickguard modification. String spacing outside-to-outside of strings is 2.062″ (5.23 cm).
