C6th pickup?

Post by Kenny Brown »

I've seen some pickups advertised as "C6 pickups". What would be the difference in C6 pickup and anything else?

Why would one need or want a different pickup for their C6 tuning?

Most players like a warmer sound on the C6 neck, and some use a pickup wound at a different value to avoid making amp setting changes when switching necks. Hope this has been helpful.

My 1972 Emmons Push/Pull gets me all the variables on their stock pickups, by way of my ProFexII. Great sounds...
