Hollow T Classic - pickups?

[Ray K.]

I have a Hollow T Classic on the way (03-13-08N). It has a TV1 and TV3. I have no doubt I'll love these pickups, but really need hum canceling for live use.

What are your suggestions/recommendations?

I'm fine with "vintage" sounds, but wouldn't mind if especially the bridge would get just a bit aggressive with the volume control full open. I'm not a "country" only player, so I would like as much versatility as possible.

Also, can the TF series be split? Nothing is mentioned in the online catalog.

Thanks,
Ray K.

If you want to maintain the vintage look go for the TF series. I find them to be very close in sound to the TV's but they are hum cancelling.

Thanks Dan.

So, a TF1 in the neck. Going by the online catalog description, I'm leaning toward the TF3 for the bridge. A bit hotter. Do you know if it will clean up well when I roll back on the volume?

I'm also still curious if these can be split. I may not even wire them up that way initially, but it would be a nice bonus if they had the capability.

Thanks,
Ray K.

p.s., Dan I sent you a PM.

we don't split the tf's or sf's. we designed them to sound right when humcancelling. if you were to split them they get pretty darn bright and edgy.

Thanks Tom. It is certainly not a deal breaker. I was just curious. :)
