Hi gain samples.

Regarding the clips for M6 and Smooth operator named High Gain:

The intro of each clip presents a 1-track rhythm guitar without any
processing at all.
The remaing part of the clips features a left and right double-
tracked rhythm guitar with some subtle mix-processing to fit into a
production (EQ and compression).
Each clip also features a non-processed solo-track, but with a touch
of delay on it.

The equipment used was:
Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier through a Mesa/Boogie Stiletto Traditional
4×12 cab.
(Rhythm settings on Red/Modern mode: Gain 11 o’clock, Treble 12, Mid
12, Bass 11, Presence 7, Volume 9)
Maxon OD808 overdrive pedal with the Gain at 0 and Level at MAX.
2 Shure SM57 mics in 45 degree angle from opposite directions towards
the center of the speaker.
Focusrite ISA430 Mk I and TL-Audio PA1 mic pre’s into a Pro Tools HD
system with a 192 interface.

Please note that this test is only relevant if You intend to use Your
Lundgren pickups in a Hi-gain setup and that the result differs
greatly between different amp models and other surrounding equipment
or recording approaches and techniques.

The guitar was played by C-J Grimmark.

Parts

Much of our parts we make  ourselves in our hometown, Jönköping,Sweden. For example we punchpress the Stratocaster® bobins for all our Stratocaster® pickups with our own tool. This will make them perfect in shape and even the right look appears just like the old original ones. Only the best parts are good enough for our customers.

There are several opportunities to speak with Lundgren and try the guitar pickups at some of  these guitar shows. The spring shows are as follows; Messe Frankfurt in Germany, Fuzz guitarshow in Gothenburg and  Guitarshow south in Hässleholm. The autumn shows are as follows; Scandinavian guitarshow in Stockholm, Musicians planet in Stockholm and Vintage Guitarshow in Copenhagen.
