Bridge: 4.8H, 6.4H, and 8.8H (XL)

For those wanting the more traditional pole-piece look, as opposed to the twin blades of the L-500's, the higher inductance L-450's deliver similar tone to their L-500 siblings.

Good question.

I have asked, but have never received an answer.

I understand that, in order to describe the L-450, the letters F (for Fender spacing), G (Gibson spacing), L (bridge position) and N (neck position) are used. Thus, one might order e.g. an L-450GN-24.

But where does the A come from?

As for the specific characteristics of the 450 and its output, it depends what version, how it's wired, the target guitar, the strings, etc, the cable capacitance, the amp, the speaker(s), and the player's personal dynamics.

As stated in the initial post, the 450 is available in the following inductances (Henries)- 0.5, 1.0, 1.6, 2.4, 3.6, 4.8, and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (nocaster) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/sreply/16928 Sun, 10 Aug 2003 00:08:38 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: L-600s: options and characteristics ]]> http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/reply/16927/t/L-600s-options-and-characteristics.html#reply-16927 feeds@yuku.com (TheDisposables) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/sreply/16927 Sat, 09 Aug 2003 23:46:05 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: L-600s: options and characteristics ]]> http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/reply/16926/t/L-600s-options-and-characteristics.html#reply-16926 feeds@yuku.com (nocaster) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/sreply/16926 Sun, 13 Apr 2003 21:43:53 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: L-600s: options and characteristics ]]> http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/reply/16925/t/L-600s-options-and-characteristics.html#reply-16925
Nocaster would the L-450-5 be the ideal pup for my application; Im guessing if it was good enough for Wes its good enough for me. With the low inductance or resistance Im guessing that this pup has good trebles as well as the expected bass response that normally comes with a humbucker. Also my guitars all have short scale necks 24.75, which can get muddy real quick with the wrong pickup.

Firstly, these sticky threads are only open for clarifying specs.

IMO, L-280S's deliver late pre-CBS Strat tones without question, and without any noise, and I believe the 280T's and 290's... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (nocaster) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/sreply/16923 Fri, 11 Apr 2003 19:31:12 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: L-600s: options and characteristics ]]> http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/reply/16922/t/L-600s-options-and-characteristics.html#reply-16922 feeds@yuku.com (heath) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/sreply/16922 Fri, 11 Apr 2003 06:33:10 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: L-600s: options and characteristics ]]> http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/reply/16921/t/L-600s-options-and-characteristics.html#reply-16921 Are you a jazz aficionado?

For those desperate for PAF tone, you might like to try PeteMK1s suggestion re the L-450N16:

IMO, it's possible to get close with an external R and C. The problem is that you need data on the characteristics you want to emulate (465 or PAF data), specifically L, R, and C. The same data for your 450 is also needed.
