How does the Fender Dual Pro with boxcar PU's compare to a trap Dual Pro?
Thanks
Jim

I never liked the boxcars, thin and too bright. The traps are great.

It’s been noted here before that boxcars are more valued collectibility-wise, as they are more rare. But the general consensus is that the traps are a much better overall sonic improvement. Btw, I have a Dual w/traps and they are my favorite overall sounding pickup on any instrument of any kind I’ve any owned, although they get in the way of your hand a bit.

I had Jerry Sentell rewind one boxcar on a Dual Pro I just bought. I asked him to over wind it a little bit for more bass and it sounds great.

Even Leo reckoned it was the best pickup he ever made.
