    I have Lollars in a telecaster and a les Paul with split coils

    i didn't know he make split coils.

    my lollar bridge pickup cost $170 just for the pickup!! since it is a minihumbucker and the hardware on the guitar is gold, it was more expensive than normal.

    I may not have the right terminology. But it's two humbuckers that each have two single coil that can be played as a humbucker or a single coil by pushing or pulling the tone knob. Doesn't know if this clarifies anything or causes more confusion

    Lotsa people with great tone use these. Can't really argue with that.

    How is it pronounced? I've take to going with the Luther Dickinson version of low-lar.
