  1. How about a set of stock Gibson pickups. A set 490's Or you could search up a set of T tops used. Those sound good through a Vibrolux. Anything much hotter than 7.8 k is going to be too much in a full archtop. You can do 8.2 or so in the bridge if you need that sound ,because the location of the bridge pickup rolls off lots of the lows , but for a clean Jazz tone lower output works nicely.
  2. Chris is a gas ! The Van Epps Damper was made of aluminum. So there will be a weight difference.
  3. You can't buy the Van Epps string damper any longer. I once made 1 functional damper from 2 broken ones for Herb Ellis. His wife was so grateful she actually called to thank me personally. Guess HE had it in for a set up , I noticed the damper was broken and found another broken one in the case. Just fixed it. Not many folks use them any more. You can still buy a version , but its much more high tech and designed for electrics. You can use it though. but these days most players use "scrunchies" those things you tie a "pony tail" with .
