Great Axe, I always been so puzzled by this Oahu pickup that Ry had installed on his lovely Strat it sounds so incredibly good with a great definition. To your ears Are the Lollar getting close to the Holy Graal ?
 
Thanks. Jason Lollar worked some major magic when he did the Supro String-thru pickups. I have heard clips of them, and they just growl when you dig in on them. Lollar did the Teisco Gold Foil neck pup too. Another outstanding pup. Cooder plays one or the other pup, never combined because the Supro pup would be out-of-phase. My builder tried out the combined phase and thought it was pretty interesting, so I will have that too.

The Supro pup might just be the baddest-*ss pup of all time.

I get the steel next week.
 
Wow - looks so cool, especially the leopard wood! Interestingly, I was recently watching a youtube of Ry talking about his two main gits, and how the coodercaster came to be. He talks about wanting that Valco lap steel sound in his strat because he "can't play flat": check in at about 11:30 (tho the whole thing is interesting)

One of my friend on the Ry Cooder discussion list succeed to do a perfect copy of the Cooder caster with an Oahu pickup and Teisco gold foil but those pups are really super hard to find. That's what makes those Lollar pickups so interesting to me :thumbsup
