What pickups for new Zum?

Pat Ickes, Your expermenting and mine have come up with the same results. I also agree with Jeff and Earnest but Jeff had a tendency to be partial once in 1963, just a little biased. Don't blame him though, I can't, he'll beat me up when he comes to work on monday! Pat Ickes, This isn't the first time that I have agreed with you, just the first time I've said anything about it!
I agree with Jeff, too, just not all that often! (kidding Jeff, your my buddy)

Remember, timbre dosn't come from the pickup! It comes from the woods.

Fred, your original post regarding your friend ordering his new Zum says he would "prefer it to sound as much like an Emmons as possible". The statement begs the question-----why not simply buy an Emmons?

Don,
One reason would be if he wanted an all-pull 12-string. (that may not be the case but it's the reason I don't order a new Emmons)

Don, he already has a new Emmons, and two Sho-Buds that are still like new. He just wanted to try a Zum since it seems everyone thinks they play better than the Emmons.

Mike W.,
Which p/us did you replace with the XR 16s ?

Ollie, I replaced the standard Zum single coil pickups with the XR-16.
