What Do We Think? 

Lambertones Ristrettos are advertised as P90's with a tendency to lean towards single coil tones, but by no means does this mean these pickups sound thin or low volume. The terms “open” and “clarity” come immediately to mind, but you’ll be delighted by the full-bodied flavor that gives these pickups their name.

The neck sounds of this JM6 are huge, think Strat but with more low end punch and a more rounded high end. It's amazing how impactful this pickup is without becoming boomy or muddy, and the upper midrange is rich and vibrant. The bridge position packs a Tele-like punch, but again with a full frequency spectrum that pulls from the bottom up. Lastly, the middle position has a clean EQ scoop to make way for all your verbs and delays with utmost transparency.

How Does It Play?

The early ‘60s-inspired C profile is temperately slim, but with a nice amount of shoulder to support the hand and thwart fatigue. The contoured neck heel gives smooth access to the upper frets. The string action measures barely a hair over 4/64” on the low E string at the 12^th and all the way down to 3/64” on the high E, all without buzz.
