Had a moment to install the Area T's in my back up guitar.
Interesting differences between the Lawrence 280's and the T's.
The T's have more pronounced midrange and sorta crunch more. They sound
more Rock and Roll. They are touch sensitive , dynamic and don't seem overly compressed , nor are they dark sounding.
The 280's sound more balanced , but possibly simply have less mid content, perhaps less output ,slightly less charactar.
The T's bridge pickup is slightly more brash than the 280.
I get the impression that the DiMarzio's rely on the idea of unbalanced coils to preserve high end.The cavities on both guitars are fully shielded and have the same 250k pots and .5 caps. The T's sound pretty close to real single coils , without the hum. More trad. sounding than the Lawrence. Like the fact that I can body mount the neck pu without modifying it. Thats a plus.
An interesting pick up. We'll see how it likes effects in a day or so.
Right now just comparing through my BFPR. All in all a good product at a good price.
