skydog52 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Does anyone know the specs on these special pickups? I sure do like them. Do any manufacturers make something close?
Kuz Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Vince & Marv wouldn't get into specifics at PSP4, but something about schaller only had the right components to achieve the HRW tone they were looking for. They said they tried many other USA pickup makers, but couldn't get the tone/components/ect they were looking for. I have been accused many times of being a Heritage homer, but here is another example where they could have produced a inferior product, labeled it as a "new improved HRW", and shipped it out. Instead, they weren't able to get the results they wanted, so they didn't produce it. I call that credibility!!!

skydog52 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 I call it frustration for many Heritage owners who want them!!! Yes it is frustrating Will. I even e-mailed Schaller to see if they had something close but received no response. They are a nice sounding pickup to my ears.
SouthpawGuy Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 In my own limited experience of pickups the HRW compares to the Duncan Custom Custom. I have HRWs in a Millie Std Ultra and a VIP2, and had the Duncan CC in the bridge position in a Godin LGX SA. It's been a while since I had the Godin so I'm only really going from memory http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/medium-output/sh11_custom_cus/
