Hey everybody in the Seattle-Tacoma metro area! Do you like guitars? Do you like Lollar Pickups? Well so do we! The Seattle-Tacoma Guitar Show is happening this weekend over in Bellevue and your friendly neighborhood winding wizards are attending. We’ll be hanging out over a Emerald City Guitars booth, shaking hands, kissing babies, selling pickups and telling dirty jokes. Come by and say hi.

You’re still here. Reading this sentence, not listening to Tim Lerch’s new soundclips for a couple of our favorite models. Rectify this immediately.

Clean and dirty. Neck and bridge. All the good stuff. Click on the links below:

Also we have a dedicated Soundcloud page with clips for just about every pickup we make. Gorge on tone!

We always love to hear about great guitar players, especially when they are using our pickups! Our Japanese distributor, Zenbu Japan, recently informed us that the legendary Kazumi Watanabe has been spinning many of his burning jazz and fusion lines on a Collings SoCo, complete with Lollar Imperials!

Mr. Watanabe has been one of Japan’s most important and influential guitarists (and composers) since the mid-seventies. He has played and recorded with many of the worlds greatest musicians, and received the prestigious Fumio Nanri Award in 1991. He has also been a visiting professor of music at Senzoku Gakuen College since 1996.

Please enjoy his playing!
