What is the difference in these pick ups compared to stock schallers? I was not aware that Dale knew anything about pickups

G&L was trying to get into the aftermarket pickup arena with the Skyhawk set, right about the same time they decided to go with the Schaller humbucker.

BTW, you mention that the third generation fine tuner bridge in the add has just the single vibrato arm boss. It does appear to have two, just like the one on your Interceptor.

Many like the bridge pickup to be hotter but I have grown fond of these Schaller humbuckers which were custom wound for G&L. In my opinion, the good relationship between Dale Hyatt and Günther Schaller has been a boon to G&L at many times during its first 10 years of existence. And it should not be overlooked that with about 92 produced, also this version of the Interceptor is exceedingly rare. Unfortunately I have no knowledge how this number breaks down between SSS, HH, and HSS configurations but the Registry and Gallery at the time of writing shows these numbers and examples:

Tom,
Shows you how my eyes are deteriorating! But you are right. That is a 2nd generation Leo Fender Vibrato on the Interceptor in the ad as wells as the Tan/Gold Sparkle Interceptor in this thread.

I do not know the answer to that question. One would only assume to have 2 bosses so it could be used on both left- as well as right-handed guitars.

Tony,
There will only an additional account when I get one. And you are not selling are you?
