the Super-Casters serve up classic Strat sounds and then some
Lollar Pickups is celebrating 30 years of tone sculpting in style with its brand-new Super-Caster pickups, offering a unique approach to the traditional Stratocaster pickup design
but offer “an entirely unique design” headlined by larger
The coils are more old-school in their design
and that vintage-modern blend results in the set delivering “a punchy
present sound with more body and a bit more output than most Strats”
The middle position especially has come under a great deal of attention
The Super-Casters look to offer “classic chime” aplenty
with a signature “glassy Strat ‘quack’” in the in-between positions
traditionalists and those looking for something a little more left-field can be equally satisfied
Then there’s the outrageously good-looking design: the pickups are housed in an open-top metal ring with a brass mesh insert that pertains a certain retro chic while still standing out from the Strat pickup crowd
“The Super-Caster pickup set offers more dynamic range and output with extended harmonics and robust bottom end,” says Lollar
respectively – are a little misleading
and are pleasingly reactive to a player's pick attack
“harmonics sustain and linger past what conventional single coil pickups offer”
With these pickups deviating from the typical Strat recipe
it begs the question of which player they are best suited for
“What we've done is added a lot of versatility into the Strat footprint,” says production Manager Kevin Moe
“So it's gonna work really well for anyone who wants a different characteristic out of their Strat
it's got a big attack and the big magnets respond really well to bending
“It's gonna hit really hard with rock
but I think they could work really well for ambient players that use a lot of effects and want to maintain clarity and even jazz players.”
where some big-name players took them for a spin
Among them was Mateus Asato – a reliable informant when it comes to exceptional tone – who said they sound “phenomenal”
Lollar's all-new Super-Caster pickups are available now from $135 per pickup
Head to Lollar to take a closer look
The release comes after Lollar dropped hum-canceling Jazz bass pickups and a similarly stealthy P-90 recipe last year
in which he slings an 8-string Strandberg Boden Original
churning that low string through a variety of tunings
He's also a published author and is currently penning his debut novel which chucks fantasy

Has Lollar just dropped the Stratocaster mod of the year
Washington-based company’s Super-Caster set might just be something different
they don’t look anything like your typical aftermarket Strat set
Lollar is housing these in an open-topped metal ring
and has given them a sort of gold-top vibe courtesy of a brash mesh insert
There is something kind of Coodercaster about the Super-Caster pickups and we we are very much there for that – and for all that these are really quite different
they’ll occupy the same footprint as a regular Strat single-coil
The Super-Casters are designed around Lollar’s “Broiler” pole pieces
Lollar says its unique wind will give you a “punchy
and altogether a bit more meat on the bones
“It was pretty clear when we put it in a guitar that the thing just lit up and we had something on our hands,” he says
“The coil itself is fairly similar to a lot of other Strat designs that we make but the magnets really set it apart
so that gives it a distinctly different sound.”
The Super-Caster pickups are available individually ($135

Ghost’s Tobias Forge reckons you've got metal all wrong
if you’re driving an electric vehicle powered by MobilTM Lithium
you’ll have Stephanie Lollar to thank.
That’s because Stephanie and her team are playing a key role in our plan to produce lithium from saltwater brine in the Smackover formation deep under southwest Arkansas
Lithium is a key component of the rechargeable batteries that power EVs and consumer electronics.
As Commercial and Land Advisor for our Low Carbon Solutions business
Stephanie oversees all commercial-related land work
which includes working with mineral owners to secure the leases that will allow us to develop and produce lithium from saltwater brine.
Stephanie’s job – in the past referred to as a “landman” – can be challenging.
There are thousands of mineral owners to contact – from large companies (timber’s a big industry in the area) to individuals who may have inherited ownership via an estate – whether they’re aware of it or not
Identifying heirs can require a lot of digging – into deed
probate and court records at county courthouses
and even searches on social media and genealogy websites.
Because after two decades working oil and natural gas shale plays throughout the U.S.
she’s in the unexpected position of applying her skills to lithium in Arkansas – a state she considers a “home away from home.”
While Stephanie grew up in Texas and now lives outside Houston
and traveled around the state to watch her uncles play football and baseball for Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia – not far from our lithium acreage position.
Stephanie herself is a 2004 graduate of OBU
where she played NCAA Division II basketball (go Tigers!) and was a member of the Chi Delta social club
she got to know many of her fellow classmates – including one who would go on to become the state's current governor
Today, Stephanie’s a mother of three girls who just celebrated her 20-year anniversary with her husband, Dustin (also an OBU graduate who works at ExxonMobil) and has many friends and family in Arkansas. She recently was part of the team representing ExxonMobil at the Magnolia Blossom Festival
is meeting with mineral- and land-owners and working together to meet everyone’s needs.
Stephanie’s thrilled to be helping the state she’s so fond of
“We’re putting money back into Americans’ pockets
and that money will get spent in local stores
businesses – it goes directly into the local economy,” she said.
“I love being able to make a positive impact in these wonderful communities in southwest Arkansas.”
ExxonMobil recently completed our appraisal drilling program in the southwest part of the state. We also recently signed our first potential customer: battery maker SK On
who is in discussions with us to buy up to 100,000 metric tons of lithium from Arkansas for use at its battery-making facilities in the U.S

MIAMI – Yahkeim Lollar wanted to become a stockbroker and was working to graduate from Miami Northwestern Senior High School
where he had been a running back for the football team
His family’s Christmas celebrations were just a few days away
but instead of wrapping gifts and baking cookies

She was wearing her uniform when she said her nephew Yahkeim died at 17 after his girlfriend stabbed him on Friday just outside of the apartment where he lived in Miami
He was just a homebody who wanted to stay in his room and play video games — we taught him that,” Beecham said
Beecham said she and her grieving family were still trying to understand what preceded the tragedy
a spokeswoman for the Miami Police Department
the stabbing was near Northwest Sixth Court and 61 Street in the Model City neighborhood and he died at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center
Beecham described Yakheim as “the type of kid who always wanted to have fun with his family
“We taught him to stay out of the streets and keep his head on right and he did exactly that and still this happened,” Beecham said
While Miami homicide detectives were investigating the stabbing
dozens joined Beecham and her family in their grief
Mourners also brought white candles and played music to honor him
Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477

MIAMI – Family members of 17-year-old Yahkeim Lollar rallied together in a Miami courthouse Tuesday as prosecutors sought to keep his ex-girlfriend
facing an adult manslaughter charge in his stabbing death

is accused of stabbing Lollar to death on the third floor of a parking garage at his apartment complex in the 6100 block of Northwest Sixth Court in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood on Dec
Police said she claimed she and Lollar were “horseplaying” before the stabbing occurred
“He was the ultimate competitor at everything he did,” Darveed Lollar
She was initially released on a $50,000 bond with GPS monitoring after appearing in adult bond court on Friday
But prosecutors are asking a judge to order her held before trial
as well as educators were there in support of Lollar
Defense attorneys are implying the killing was accidental
She’s going to pay for what she did to my son because he didn’t want to be with her,” Lollar’s mother
“Who gives her the right — she thinks she loved him more than me
She made that decision to take my son’s life
She did and she’s got to be held accountable.”
Jean called an ankle monitor “a slap in the face,” but Handfield said
“I want if off due to the fact that as a student in school there’s a negative connotation.”
Attorney Larry Handfield called what happened a “totally unfortunate situation” Tuesday
but said he doesn’t believe “it’s in the interest of justice for her to be taken back into custody and to be held in custody in the adult facility until this matter’s resolved.”
The pre-trial detention hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m

– Seventeen-year-old Jahara Malik was allowed to return home Thursday
but this time under total lockdown house arrest
Malik, who is charged with manslaughter as an adult in the fatal stabbing of her ex-boyfriend, Yahkeim Lollar
will now be restricted to her home except for attending school and meeting with her attorneys

Malik is accused of fatally stabbing Lollar on Dec
20 in a parking garage at his apartment complex in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood
She previously claimed they were “horseplaying” before the incident
Malik was initially released on a $50,000 bond with GPS monitoring
but prosecutors argued for tougher restrictions
During Thursday’s pretrial detention hearing
the state pushed for Level 1 house arrest — essentially a total lockdown — with exceptions only for school and attorney meetings
The decision was made over the objections of Lollar’s family
Prosecutors cited Malik’s age and lack of prior criminal history as the sole reasons for not seeking full incarceration
The judge sided with the state and ordered elevated house arrest
any violation will result in Malik being taken into custody and sent to jail
The defense sought permission for Malik to relocate to her aunt’s home in Port St
citing concerns about monitoring her outside the jurisdiction
the judge also reviewed surveillance video footage presented by prosecutors as part of their case of a previous school fight involving Malik
Prosecutors also presented evidence to the judge
including claims that Malik was known to carry a knife and had sent text messages discussing harming others
On Thursday, Lollar’s family continued to pack the courtroom and condemned the judge’s decision
house arrest with lockdown doesn’t make me feel better,” said Nathalie Jean
the judge sided with the state and ordered an elevated form of house arrest
but made it clear that any violation would result in immediate incarceration

“Prophecy” Full-Length Out Now On Metal Blade Records
Slasherwave soloist GOST will kick off a two-week run of US headlining shows
GOST‘s critically lauded Prophecy full-length is out now on Metal Blade Records
The record claimed multiple Billboard chart positions upon its first week of release
GOST exists in the dark crack between black metal and the most shadowy end of electronic music
Since the release of the Radio Macabre EP at the start of 2013
and the remorseless digital nightmare of their Skull debut album six months later
and main-brain James Lollar has become an increasingly singular force in music
Far more aggressive and sinister than the synthwave he’s often grouped with
GOST is a harsh and unique digital nightmare that takes the listener right into the heart of the abyss
Prophecy serves as Lollar’s most exhilarating and dangerous sounding work to date
It’s a record that perfectly reflects the horror and grim anxieties of a world beset with religious and political overreach
“being rolled back to the fucking 1950s.” Prophecy was recorded by Lollar alone in Texas during a burst of creativity at the end of 2022
Following the experimentation and more melodic touches of 2019′s Valediction
the record also acts as something of a return to older roots
From the industrial scrape of “Death In Bloom,” the doomy “Decadent Decay,” and the demonic pulse of “Golgotha,” Lollar welds together elements of pulsing synthwave
and the pound and snarl of Ministry at their most unhinged to create a whole that sounds genuinely dangerous
somewhere between metal and a rave in Hell
Prophecy is available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats. Find ordering options at: metalblade.com/gost
Watch GOST‘s “Leviathan” video HERE, the “Judgement/Prophecy” video HERE, and the “Widow Song” lyric video HERE
“Hellish blasts of blackened industrial like ‘Death In Bloom’ and ‘Digital Death’ harken back to the digital demonology of 2018′s Possessor
mascara traces remain: ‘Widow Song’ enjoys the silence of humanity’s demise.” — Decibel Magazine
“Bewitching black-metal hisses laid over thumping darkwave synths and thwacking industrial drums
A match made in Hell.” — Revolver on “Widow Song“
“The world his music inhabits is nocturnal and sinister
bathed in crimson neon; while its electronic beats might point a bony finger in the direction of the dancefloor
the environment it portrays is more ritual than rave…Prophecy continues in this established trajectory
with Satanic soundbites and Biblical artwork conjuring an end-of-days vibe altogether in keeping with the horror movie synths reverberating throughout.” — Kerrang
“…while each song could stand alone as a pop banger
there’s a definite flow to the album as well… If you’re frustrated with the world today and don’t know whether to get mad or dance about
but bear with us; it’s also strangely cathartic.” — MetalSucks
“GOST provides both synth and metal purists a focal point to indulge upon with hellish glee
Prophecy will no doubt go down as a stylistic staple
an example of how to make immense music of infinite flavors that pulverizes all fortunate enough to be in its wake.” — No Clean Singing

MIAMI – A teenage girl has been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend that occurred outside his Miami apartment back in December
Leer en español
Jahara Malik, 17, was taken into custody on Tuesday and transported to a Juvenile Assessment Center in Miami-Dade, just weeks after the deadly stabbing of Yahkeim Lollar
a former running back at Miami Northwestern Senior High School who had dreams of becoming a stockbroker
Miami police and fire rescue personnel responded to a home near the 6100 block of Northwest Sixth Court after a female caller reported an emergency
Police said they found Lollar on the third floor of a parking garage suffering from a stab wound to the chest
First responders performed first aid before transporting him to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center
Investigators said they reviewed surveillance footage from Lollar’s apartment complex on the night of the stabbing
Police said the video showed Malik and another woman exiting a vehicle and meeting with Lollar
additional video footage showed Lollar bleeding from his chest after apparently being stabbed
police said Malik was seen dropping a knife near the crime scene
Malik said she met with a friend at her apartment complex earlier that day and planned to take an Uber to Dadeland Mall to go shopping
She told investigators she usually carried pepper spray for safety during rideshares but couldn’t find it
investigators said Malik and her friend called Lollar and asked to meet him outside of his apartment
Malik separated from her friend and entered the complex alone
Malik told detectives that she and Lollar were “horseplaying” before the stabbing occurred and also made a statement that was redacted in the publicly released report
the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office determined Lollar’s cause of death to be a stab wound to the torso
a deputy with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office
was heartbroken when she heard about the incident
Beecham told Local 10 News last month that she wearing her uniform when Yahkeim died and described him as “the type of kid who always wanted to have fun with his family.”
Jail records show Malik is facing one count of manslaughter with a deadly weapon
she is being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center
A motive has not been disclosed at this time

After playing their first show since May to a sold-out crowd in New Haven
Warren Haynes and Gov’t Mule rang in the new year with two nights at New York’s Beacon Theatre
who played hundreds of electrifying shows at the historic venue with the Allman Brothers Band during their annual multi-night residencies over the course of two decades
The theater once synonymous with the ABB has also become a spiritual home for Gov’t Mule
hosting the band’s New Year’s shows dating back to 2002
Those deep roots made the Beacon the perfect venue to finish off a year-long celebration of the band’s 30th anniversary
Mule completed its 30 Years Strong tour back in February
but the two-night Beacon run gave fans and the band one last chance to look back on 30 years of Mule before entering a new year
Monday’s show felt appropriately reflective and soulful
with songs like Blind Faith‘s “Presence of the Lord”
Mule also welcomed two special guest guitarists
with Lollar joining in on the title track from the band’s collaboration with John Scofield
and Noy lending his jazz fusion chops on “Devil Likes It Slow”
The mood of Tuesday’s New Year’s Eve show was more celebratory
which both opened the show and capped off the encore
“Just Got Paid” and “Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings”
while set two included a geographically suitable cover of James Brown‘s “Down and Out in New York City”
King Crimson‘s “21st Century Schizoid Man”
and Led Zeppelin staple “Dazed and Confused”
not to mention a reggae rendition of “Auld Lang Syne” at midnight

The highest distinction of the Geological Society of London, the esteemed Wollaston Medal, has been awarded to University Professor Barbara Sherwood Lollar, a renowned geochemist from the Department of Earth Sciences in the Faculty of Arts & Science
The society was founded in 1807 and is the oldest geological society in the world
The medal has been awarded since 1831 in recognition of the significance of geoscientific research in either or both pure and applied aspects
“The Geological Society of London was the crucible in which so many of the founding principles of geological sciences arose,” says Sherwood Lollar
“These principles laid the foundation for how scientists observe
“It is an immense thrill to receive the Wollaston Medal and an honour to contribute to a community that has persevered throughout history in pursuit of an understanding of the Earth driven by facts
by hypothesis testing and by the rigorous application of reasoning
thereby establishing a strong foundation for public policy and action.”
“It’s incredibly gratifying to see Professor Sherwood Lollar continue to garner accolades for her remarkable career,” say Melanie Woodin, dean of the Faculty of Arts & Science. “Especially an honour like the Wollaston Medal — a distinction bestowed on scientists no less prominent than pioneering geologist Charles Lyell, Charles Darwin and U of T’s own John Tuzo Wilson
I’m thrilled to extend my heartfelt congratulations.”
Sherwood Lollar is renowned for her research on ancient waters and the deep subsurface biosphere
with over 200 published peer-reviewed scientific papers
She pioneered the development of Compound Specific Isotope Analysis (CSIA)
identifying a new natural isotope tracer of unparalleled sensitivity to investigate the clean-up of hydrocarbon contaminants in the environment
and quantify the microbial and chemical transformation of groundwater contaminants
which has had a considerable impact on the field of drinking water remediation globally
Her work has contributed to the evaluation of deep geologic repositories’ potential for disposal of low- and high-level nuclear waste and storage of atmospheric carbon
as well as identifying new areas of hydrogen-rich rock with potential to contribute clean energy alternatives
her discoveries around habitability of groundwaters in the Earth’s deep subsurface are driving insights into mission planning for Mars

Barbara Sherwood Lollar, a University Professor in the department of earth sciences in the Faculty of Arts & Science, has been awarded the 2025 Wollaston Medal by the Geological Society of London
the Wollaston Medal has been bestowed since 1831 in recognition of landmark geoscientific research
with past winners including Charles Darwin and the late U of T Professor John Tuzo Wilson
Her work has contributed to the evaluation of deep geologic repositories’ potential for disposal of low- and high-level nuclear waste and storage of atmospheric carbon and enabled the identification of new areas of hydrogen-rich rock with potential to contribute clean energy alternatives

is warning residents of "raining bats" as disease takes over a local colony
leaving bats stranded across Downtown Mineral Wells
the rescue center — which is the world's only accredited bat sanctuary — has rescued about 50 bats with wing wasting disease
so they're everywhere right now in downtown," said Bat World Sanctuary Founder Amanda Lollar
We're going to continue to go out every night to investigate until there's no one left to rescue."
Wing Wasting Disease is caused by the common bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa
poorly ventilated areas like attics and crawlspaces where bats often roost
"Last night we went to investigate and discovered bats flying from a collapsed building," the sanctuary wrote on Facebook
"Most were ending up in the street and on the sidewalks and even in the road
After an extensive search we ended up with over 20 bats scattered throughout a several block area."
The infected bats were believed to have been roosting on the decaying beams of an abandoned building that had not collapsed
and most likely ingested the bacteria while grooming their feet and toes
and they are often found grounded with no visible injury
Rehabilitation at Bat World Sanctuary will likely take several months before the bats can be released back into the wild
The disease cannot be spread from animal to animal
The bacteria requires direct contact with the animal
Wing Wasting Disease is a serious condition with symptoms that can severely impact the health and survival of affected bats
There's no easy way for non-professionals to detect the symptoms of wing wasting disease in bats
But it's important to note that about 95% of grounded bats are injured or orphaned and would benefit from professional care
Texas officials detected evidence of white-nose syndrome in tri-colored bats
marking the first known case of the fungal disease in this species within the state and the southernmost confirmation of the disease in tri-colored bats
Texas officials also confirmed the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans
in three other bat species in Texas: fringed myotis
This is the first time canyon bats have tested positive for the fungus in the U.S
What to do if you've found a batIt's crucial to ensure that bats receive proper care, and it’s also illegal to rehabilitate wildlife without the appropriate permit. If you encounter a bat, follow these steps, as advised by the Bat World Sanctuary website:
Avoid calling local animal control services

The geologist asked the question we all want to know: "What does it taste like?"
A scientist who found the oldest water ever discovered on Earth decided the best course of action was
Professor Barbara Sherwood Lollar was leading a team of geologists studying a Canadian mine in 2016 when she made the remarkable discovery
The flowing water about three kilometres below the surface was between 1.5bn and 2.6bn years old, according to tests, making it the oldest water found on Earth
“When people think about this water they assume it must be some tiny amount of water trapped within the rock,” said Prof Sherwood Lollar
“But in fact it’s very much bubbling right up out at you
These things are flowing at rates of litres per minute – the volume of the water is much larger than anyone anticipated.”
Upon tasting the ancient water
she found that it was “very salty and bitter” and “much saltier than seawater”
where the water has been ageing for billions of years
“If you’re a geologist who works with rocks
you’ve probably licked a lot of rocks,” said Sherwood Lollar
Her team also found that life had once been present in the water, by looking at the sulphate – the composition of salts – in it
“We were able to indicate that the signal we are seeing in the fluids has to have been produced by microbiology – and most importantly has to have been produced over a very long time scale
“The microbes that produced this signature couldn’t have done it overnight
“This has to be an indication that organisms have been present in these fluids on a geological timescale.”
Fortunately, the scientist had no terrifying sci-fi movie-esq reaction to drinking the ancient water
The paper was published in Nature in 2016

— As you drive through Pine Island two years after Hurricane Ian
bridges under construction and people working on island
What you might not see or realize from the view of the main road is that so many individuals are still struggling to get back on their feet
Erin Lollar Lambert, sees the struggles first hand. She is the Executive Director of the Greater Pine Island Alliance, a long term recovery group on island that’s helping people still living in crisis
“We got a call just the other day that we have to muck and gut a home
We have young families living in campers and trailers because their homes are not solvent yet,” she said
Erin's team at GPIA says it’s not unusual to meet islanders that have no idea there’s still help out there and available to them
but people have no idea that there were still resources,” she said
we have elderly individuals who are still in that brain fog of the storm and cannot process that there are things that have to be demoed,” says Lambert
It’s not just homeowners facing these challenges
The local businesses are trying to get back to “normal” two years later
The Waterfront Restaurant in Saint James City just reopened six months ago
They want people to make the drive to Saint James City to come and see them and the owner of Blue Dog on Matlacha echoes that
John Lynch lost so much at his restaurant during Ian
The building had several feet of water inside
Anything that was four feet and below was saltwater just ruined,” John recalled
he felt lucky to have some things they could salvage at Blue Dog
When we talked about the feelings he was going through during that time
And we had neighbors that lost everything that were coming and helping us
and they lost everything.” He showed me his goosebumps while he shared how great the community was
John urges everyone to remember those still suffering from the storm’s impact
“There’s people that are still suffering daily
So while most places have come back around Southwest Florida
those people are still in the middle of it
and so anything you can do to support them and help them,” he said
Lollar Lambert says she’s in it for the long haul
“We will keep doing so until we return every survivor to a safe

is one of the most respected pickup makers in the world
He shares his design secrets and guitar tone philosophy
Poised and responsive, with a sonic vibe all of their own, Lollar is one of the few electric guitar pickup brands whose products we could identify almost blindfold.
Whether it’s P-90s we’ve played in an Eastman semi on review or Tele pickups fitted to one of our modded creations
Lollars always seem to pull off the trick of being balanced yet never bland
So when founder Jason Lollar said yes to an in-depth chat about his approach to designing and building pickups – both traditional and progressive – we were intrigued to find out more
We join him to delve deep into Lollar pickups from A to Z
ranging from his earliest days as a designer to his most recent designs.
“Well, I started building electric guitars in the mid-’70s
I went to Roberto-Venn [School of Luthiery] in Phoenix
and they showed us how to make really rudimentary pickups
kind of like what Semie Mosrite used to make.
“They were made out of bits of plastic with a wood core and you’d glue it all together and drill it out
They had a little winder powered by a sewing-machine motor and a [model] train transformer
You were constantly getting shocked any time you touched that transformer…
I kept building guitars through the ’80s and ’90s
It was saving me some money at the time and people liked them
people started wanting me to make the pickups [as standalone products].
“I built about 50 guitars in the ’80s
but the pickups became popular and by the 2000s I wasn’t making instruments primarily any more
So it just started with me in my garage while I was working a day job
I was playing music at nights and then I’m working 20-hour days
I built about 50 guitars in the ’80s
there’s been an explosion in the number of independent pickup makers
I think it would be more difficult to start something new
There are thousands of people making pickups – and I got into it at just the right time
there was Lindy Fralin [who got started] a couple of years before I came out – we were about the same time – so there was me and Lindy and then TV Jones
who makes Gretsch Filter’Tron type stuff
But now it’d be really hard to stand out from everybody else.
“But I think it’s helped the industry
I think what really opened it up was when places like the parts suppliers started selling pickups and advertising that they were selling pickups.
“I wrote a book about it [For The Guitar Enthusiast
Basic Pickup Winding & Complete Guide To Making Your Own Pickup Winder
1999]; way back then it was the only book that showed the mechanical process of how to unspool the wire and how you could make a machine that would automatically wind it back and forth.
‘I got started winding pickups because I read your book and realised that the mechanics are not that difficult.’ There’s other subtle things that are very difficult [when making pickups]
like how to get the wire onto the bobbin.”
what are the higher-order skills you need to master as a pickup maker
you want to make sure there’s a consistency across all of that particular design
So if you wind one and come back a month later and wind another
you want them to sound almost exactly the same
It’s hard to do and a lot of people don’t really know how to achieve that.
“You have to know what affects the outcome and what doesn’t – and it’s really easy to fool yourself by comparing pickups in two different guitars
If you don’t have the volume and tone pots all matched and the same amount of wire and everything
you’re gonna get a variation just from that.
and this one sounds better than that one,’ but it’s actually just the pots
“Knowing what affects the outcome takes a while to understand
one time we were getting weird results… There’s a counter on our machines that shows how many winds are on it
Most of them I have now are digital counters
but these old ones were electromechanical and had gears in them
“After you’ve wound 100,000 pickups on it
and then the numbers start just flipping around
So we were getting these weird results
like ‘What’s going on?’ but we didn’t realise the counter was stripped out
So there’s a variable right there you wouldn’t necessarily think about
Even the way the wire is laid makes a difference in how much output you get
how snarly the pickup is or how tight and percussive it is
“We have our wire made specially for a certain diameter because the industry
has made the diameter a little bit on the smaller side
it has to fall in between two different numbers: one’s a little lower
it’s supplied as that gauge [of] wire.
“So we have ours made slightly bigger
and they also change the formulation of insulation on the wire
you don’t get as much output for the same amount of turns
So you can manipulate the outcome that way.”
“There’s also a lot of debate about whether woods in the guitar make any difference – believe it or not
it’s hotly debated – so we have a whole wall of guitars
We have five or six Teles that are made on an alder body with a maple neck
and we’ll put pickups in them and we’ll match the pots
We even adjust the pickup height with a scale so we can see how far they are [from the strings].
put new strings on both guitars – because just having old strings will make a difference in how it sounds
‘This pickup set sounds darker’ because it’s got old strings on it
there’s still a difference in the sound and it’s just the density of the guitar body
We have some guitars that are noticeably darker than others; everything else is the same
So that’s another factor.”
We’ve always thought your pickups have a subtle but tangible ‘Lollar’ feel and sound that you start to notice once you’ve played a few different designs
“What I like is a pickup that will follow anything you put into it – it doesn’t just smear your attack and have one sound all the time
You can get various sounds just by how hard you hit it
the gauge of string [you’re using]…
“Some people like a pickup that just sounds like that pickup no matter what they throw at it
It’s a little bit easier to control that way
but that’s not what we’re doing
a sports car kind of thing instead of a big truck
Your Imperial humbucker is widely regarded as one of the best PAF-style humbuckers out there
But since original PAFs varied in sound and output quite a lot
how do you choose what the archetypal PAF actually is
that’s why we make a few different versions of them [Imperial humbuckers] because some PAFs are a lot hotter than others
it was a lot easier to work on guitars that had PAFs in them.
“We were at Chicago Music Exchange with all of the sales team once and they had
a 1960 or a ’59 Sunburst just sitting on a couch and we grabbed it and took it into a room and played it… Most [PAFs in ’Bursts] have a particular point
where the treble kind of comes out and you can really hear the attack in the forefront more.
occasionally… There’s this YouTube channel
They had a Goldtop that was a ’57 and the bridge pickup had a really unique property to it
where it almost sounded like a cymbal when you hit it
I’ve never figured out what made that particular pickup do that because I’ve never heard that before
“Then the neck pickup just sounded like a typical PAF
The thing about that Goldtop bridge pickup is that it would probably annoy a lot of people
you could utilise it in some really unusual ways
and that’s what we made the Imperial to be
It’s based on pickups that were wound in a medium output
rather than a higher one or a lower one – though we also make both of those [variations as options]
A lot of the Gibson pickups that they used in archtops or hollowbodies are wound lower and I imagine they did that to minimise the low-end feedback
“A lot of the Gibson pickups that they used in archtops or hollowbodies are wound lower and I imagine they did that to minimise the low-end feedback
Less low-end coming out of the pickup is not going to couple with the guitar top as much and make that howling ‘Whoo!’ sound that hollowbodies can do.”
One characteristic of the best pickups is the treble is always ‘sweet’ and never painful on the ear
which is really noticeable in your designs
“I have one ear that’s really sensitive to a particular frequency – I think it’s up around 3kHz or something in there – and if you overemphasise that particular frequency
it gives you what people call an ‘ice-pick’ kind of sound
‘That’s not what I want at all
I don’t want that type of treble.’ It’s got to be a little bit flatter
And that has a lot to do with the way it’s wound.”
When you make pickups inspired by classic designs by vintage Fender or Gibson pickups
are you aiming for a precise replication or an evolved version
that’s a good point because that’s what we try to do: build them better than they used to
Make them so they’ll hold up even longer
so the apocalypse will happen before most of our pickups ever take a dump [laughs]
But some of that has to do with simple things like how the lead wire has some strain relief on it
“In the Fender-type single coils they used to wind
they would dip the bobbin in lacquer after it was assembled
the wire… as you put more turns on a coil
it increases the tension of the coil and it’ll cut right through the lacquer and touch the magnet
There are little voids in the insulation on the main wire
so your coil is always going to be shorted out against one of the inside magnets when they’re made that way
So we use super-thin insulating tape around it that eliminates all that.
“The other thing that happens on the Fender single coils is once you get sweat all over them
the poles start to corrode and then the corrosion goes down the polepieces into the coil and it breaks the coil and then your pickup’s dead
the corrosion will be underneath a layer of tape
“So we take things like that into consideration
There are certain things we won’t do because there’s either no strain relief on the lead wire
or we know [a vintage pickup design] is bound to fail from a design flaw
The reason I started playing electric guitar was because I bought Are You Experienced by Hendrix
What are your particular favourite pickups from the past
“Oh, well, I like right before they sold Fender to CBS. Early to mid-’60s. Those Strat pickups I like more than like a ’54 or even a ’59
and ’59 is kind of a hotter pickup and they tend to be really spiky and ice-picky in comparison
“The reason I started playing electric guitar was because I bought Are You Experienced by Hendrix
Also [songs such as] Machine Gun [on Band Of Gypsys]
he was using a little bit later-built Strat that was a bit more gritty and snarly
The R&D we’ve been doing for the last two years has slowed down a bit
but that’ll come back around; we’ll be developing something else.
“We came out with some really unusually responsive pickups
like a humbucker with Alnico poles in it – that thing
it’s like driving a Formula 1 car
You barely increase your pressure on your pick and it’s jumping – it’ll go from super-clean and Fender-y sounding to way
“We also did a similar thing with a double blade called the dB Humbucker
The guys in High On Fire – a metal band – they love them
But they’re not really a mellow pickup
what we’re doing is trying to find a little bit more room for people to work.”

After an All-American career as a DH and pitcher at the University of Arkansas
Tim Lollar broke in to the big leagues as a reliever with the New York Yankees in 1980
Traded to the San Diego Padres the following season
Lollar emerged as one of the senior circuit’s most promising starters
Battling injuries and struggling with control
Lollar did not achieve his success his breakout season portended
finishing with a 47-52 record in seven big-league seasons
including pennant-winning campaigns with the Padres (1984) and Boston Red Sox (1986)
William Timothy Lollar was born on March 17, 1956, in Poplar Bluff, a town of about 15,000 inhabitants located in the southeast corner of Missouri. His parents were Homer Fredrick and Betty Jo (McHenry) Lollar, both native Missourians who married in 1948. Despite claims otherwise, Tim is not related to longtime Chicago White Sox catcher Sherm Lollar
almost equidistant between Poplar Bluff and St
The elder Lollar owned a wholesale meat business
He was tragically killed in a hunting accident when Tim was about 13
His mother worked as a teacher’s aide to provide for him and his sister
Tim started playing baseball on local sandlots and youth leagues
graduating to Babe Ruth and then American Legion by the time he was 16
He starred in baseball and football at Farmington High School
but his school did not field a baseball team
Lollar accepted an athletic scholarship to attend nearby Mineral Area College
becoming the school’s first player to achieve All-American distinction
The New York Yankees chose him in the fourth round of the 1978 amateur draft
The University of Arkansas honored Lollar in 2005 by naming him to their Hall of Honor
Lollar pitched well (3.86 ERA in 25⅔ innings)
but was sent back to Columbus in mid-August
With the Yankees’ AL East crown already clinched
Lollar was given his first start on the last day of the season
He tossed two-hit ball over six innings to pick up his maiden win in a game that saw New York establish a new home attendance record
a solo blast in an otherwise forgettable performance yielding seven runs (five earned) in two innings of relief to pick up his first big-league loss
Lollar was sidelined for three weeks with elbow pain and inflammation in his ulnar nerve
but failed to find the groove that made him one of the most promising young hurlers in the NL the previous year
He dropped to 7-12 and completed only one of 30 starts
while struggling with his control (85 walks in 175⅔ innings)
His ERA (4.61) was the NL’s third worst among qualifiers
he seemed to be beset by bad luck and poor run support (the Padres scored two runs or fewer in nine of his losses)
Twice he carried no-hitters into the seventh inning
The Padres lost the first two games to the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS before waging one of the most storied comebacks in championship history by taking the next three games, and stabbing a dagger in the hearts of Cubs fans who had hoped that their team’s first postseason appearance since 1945 might end a World Series championship drought that extended back to 1908. In Game Four
and was charged with three runs and four walks
San Diego’s luck and timely hitting did not continue against the Detroit Tigers
overwhelming favorites in the World Series
the Padres’ starting pitchers lasted only a combined 10⅓ innings
yielding 25 hits and 17 runs (16 earned) for a 13.94 ERA
Lollar recorded only five outs in Game Three
victimized for four runs on four hits and four walks
Lollar went 4-5 in his first 10 starts for the Red Sox
He was shunted to the bullpen for the rest of the season and finished with a combined 8-10 record and 4.62 ERA in 150 innings
while the Red Sox finished with a disappointing 81-81 record
good for only fifth place in the tough AL East
In parts of seven big-league season he posted a 47-52 record
and made 131 starts among his 199 appearances

Lollar has served as a legal consultant in India for I-MAK
and a research assistant to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women
“I have always desired to use my legal knowledge and my position as a professor in a manner that is influenced by
what’s happening on the ground in communities and courtrooms,” Lollar said
it must be responsive to the needs of people in our communities
particularly those who have historically struggled to access the legal system
If we want the law to be an instrument of change
we must engage in an ongoing dialogue with the communities most impacted by particular laws.”
