Hi
How does the Albert lee Humbucker compare to the stingray Humbuckers?? I am hoping that they are very similar....

Cheers
 
Quite different in my opinion. Stingrays are much more vintage sounding. Alberts are , I believe, the same Dimarzio as in the Axis super sport
 
Albert Lee Humbuckers are indeed the same ones from the Axis line. I think the main difference is going to be the split sound in position 2 and 4... the Albert can do a nice “strat-ish” sound in those positions... just don’t expect the “quack”
