Anybody familiar with a '60s Electro with what appears to be a High Gain pickup? I've seen plenty of these with narrow Horseshoes but never with this pickup. It's at a local shop, I might have to go check it out.

| Ric came out with the hi-gain pickup around 1968, and they started putting it on lap steels shortly thereafter. Adjustable screw poles are pretty rare on these things, so that's a plus for this one, but they do have considerably less output and fullness of tone than the horseshoes. |

| Thanks, I'll probably plug it in next time I'm up there, I'm sorta expecting something like a 60s Fender Champ pickup now, good sounding but nothing exciting. |
