Which is better for Emmons SKH GL E66 or BL 705??

[Pat Moore]

Hi ya'll,
I have both & trying to decide which would sound better. Currently have E66 on both necks on my SKH Emmons. Interested in experience & opinions.
Thx, Pat

I’ve had an 3 different SKH models with Emmons single coils, original 705’s and E-66 pickups. I was quite shocked as I much preferred the E-66 pickups. A pickup I normally didn’t care for. But with the SKH it just seemed to have that perfect clarity without the overly brightness I experienced from the E-66 with other steels.

Emmons made the best single coils, IMHO, and they were a perfect match for my old lacquered MSA and sounded great on my current GFI, on which I currently have original 705’s.

Thx Dave,
Mine has E66 on it now, but I have an original chrome wrap & a newer black wrap just sitting in a box. Just figured MAYBE.......
You're the 2nd person saying E66. Saves me a lot of work!
Thx, I appreciate you!

All of my PP’s have 705’s and love them.

Thx for your reply John,
I failed to put SKH in the title. My fault! But, I do have a PP I might try in down the road.
Sorry for the mixup.
