    I had Peter Biltoft make me a CC Rider Floating Humbucker for my Elferink Tonemaster Archtop some years ago.
    He’s no longer making pickups and retired.
    This was his take on the Charlie Christian pickup. And it was pretty close in tonality.

    They tend to be brighter than Humbuckers overall imo. I would listen to Barney Kessel recordings to get the idea.
    I believe Seymour Duncan made one in their custom shop for Bob Bain,Tonight Show guitarist’s Gibson L-4C

    A guy I know has an Eastman that came with a CC. He switched it to the Biltoff CC humbucker. I thought it tamed what struck me as the excessive brightness of that guitar, but he didn't like it and switched back.

    I bought two CC pickups from The Creamery in England, for two guitars, and on each the guitar sounded quite different with the same pickup:



    and



    So, the guitar will always colour the sound of the pickup - usually we say that the other way round.
