I know it's common but I'd like opinions from here. Thinking of pulling the trigger on eBay.
Wino swore by them for many years and so many other guitar players, I have to imagine it is a winning combo.
Hawt tone for hawt riffs.
Many more than just wino have done righteous with the Sd Lester combo. I prefer the t tops cuz that's what my old clunkers came with.
What exactly are "t-tops"?
It's a little hot if you play with a ton of pedal/amp distortion and want a 'nice' smooth tone but otherwise a good pup. Can push regular fuzz pedals into mega fuzz territory.
T-Tops are a reference to weird print markings in the plastic on the pickups themselves.
Like a little T with a circle around them. Have always heard good things about them tho have never used

Also, T Tops were the second gen Gibson Humbucker Pickup. Yes, all capitals. First Gen Patent Applied For's were the hugely varying, sometimes great, sometimes not, then Gibson decided to make a humbucker that was very, very, consistent. This humbucker was the T Top. Alnico 5 magnet + lower wire winds = cleaner meaner sound. New Gibsons from the early mid 60's to the 80's were stock with T Tops. I've been listening to Bowie at the BBC and I'd bet my ass Ronson is playing T Tops. James Williamson, Raw Power = T Tops.
