St. Vincent Mini-buckers...

Would love to hear a demo of these in this configuration.
Guitar into amp, clean, crunch & scream...all positions.

Curious how they compare to the mm90's ???

Also, what would it take to get these in an Albert Lee for those of us stuck on that model, since the mm90 version is being discontinued (dammit...)

Nothing at all against Miss Annie's new model, just curious and looking for options.

btw, her new blue color looks fantastic!

I would like to hear a comparison as well.

In my mind I imagine at least 2 positions sound very close to the Gold Roller with an all-rosewood neck. Both guitars have African mahogany bodies and mini-buickers, but the winding and placement may be a little different. The Gold Roller screams, and I use one as my #2 at gigs, so the St Vincent with a tremolo is right up my alley.

Absolutely, me too. I'm intrigued to hear how those little pick-ups sound, I imagine they are quite juicy but I don't know why. And yes Pete, the trem looks fabulous and would be something that could potentially sell it to me. I've often wished I had a JP trem on my AL but that's impossible so this may be the very thing I've been looking for.

What's the skinny on the pickups?
