Members burton4snow Posted December 18, 2017 Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 I have the Liverpool set in a Bullet Tele and really like them and will probable use them for this next project, but I was wondering about the Nashville and Memphis ones. Has anyone used these and have opinions about them. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted December 18, 2017 Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 I have a set of the Nashvilles in my 65 Gretsch Viking. Nice pickups, very vintagy sounding, with a push pull for a series/parallel can become quieter then wanted. But overall, a decent pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted December 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 19, 2017 I have a pair of Nashvilles in my custom hollowbody. For the price, they are hard to beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted December 19, 2017 Members Share Posted December 19, 2017 They are actually made by Artec. http://www.artecsound.com/pickups/ GHS is just a vendor who buys them in bulk from China. I've tried many different sets of them. I've learned to stay away from the hot wound sets which sound muddy as hell and stick with the vintage wind which sound OK for a generic pickup. GHS seems to put a big sales emphasis on Hot Wound as being something good. ' Truth is these generic companies haven't learned the art of varying the magnet strength like Seymour and Dimarzio. If you just add winds without varying the magnet strength the frequency response narrows to the point where frequencies are all midrange. Some are so bad even the top guitar string lowers in volume. I've also found the DC resistance from one set to another can vary as much as 1K so they apparently don't do a very good job counting turns or use wire that varied in diameter or quality. I had planned on trying the Liverpool set on my Epi Dot at one time. I think they have a vintage wind which would do a much better job at getting jangly tones. I wound up using a set of Mini Humbuckers with some adaptor rings instead. They come the closest to sounding to the 60's Epi Riviera I used to own.

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I have a pair of GFS Nashville Minitrons in my Gretsch Pro Jet. What do I think of them? Check out my full review to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
