| Hey guys, I have an early 1990s Emmons Lashley Legrand 1 that came with factory dual coil pickup. Does anybody have an idea of a pick up I could replace this with that sonically would fall between the Emmons single coil and hum bucker sound? |

George L's E66. It was designed to mimick the Emmons sound, but it's a humbucker.

| I wonder how the Emmons 108N humbucker would sound? |

| I did measure the pickup’s resistance today and it was 22 full and 12.6 tapped. I have read the the Emmons 108N was wound at about 22 but with heavier wire so as to be similar in tone to a single coil in the 19 ohm range. I do have an older Bill Lawrence 605 pickup that measures 15.6, but I realize that since its a true humbucker the resistance is not that useful. |

Go by the sound, and ignore the numbers. The resistance or inductance only tell part of the story, but I've found the lower readings in either humbuckers or single-coils tend to sound better...more "open", airy, and clear.
Humbuckers don't hum, but they don't sound as clean and detailed as single-coils. Fact of life, I guess. |

| Yeah, I’m going by the sound. By the sound of my dual coil Emmons pickup I want something, tone wise, that falls between the brighter and darker sounds that I currently get. Do you have a more appropriate way to word my question? |
