Hey all. Was checking out X-50s, expected to see many with Franz p/us. And did. Saw this clip too:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Rm3fJNlWg
Here it's a 60s model, called the Cordoba x-50 I'm quessing. Hadn't heard this p/u before. It does sound good. According to Han's book, this particular p/u also appeared on early S-100 polaris solid bodies.
To those more experienced: Is this p/u single coil or HB? In terms of single neck p/u archtops, has anyone compared how this metal covered p/u sounds with Franz or P90 equipped examples (Gibson ES-125 et al.) The clip sounds really good, would like to know if it gets warm drive going with a little more volume. Thanks much!
