A number of Gibson products featured bar pickups with a six sided surround, but internally they are different form a "Charlie Christian" pickup:

Yes, this is the first 4 string I've seen. I'm wondering if any were used on tenor guitars. I've seen tenors with a 4-pole P90.

Very interesting. Never seen one before. Looks to me as there is a hand tremolo directly behind the bridge. How is the player supposed to use that? I have a plectrum banjo myself and banjo's are not known for having a long sustain after picking a note? I assume the player has to constanctly pick downstroke/upstroke alternately and in the meantime use the handtrem with his handpalm. What type of music does that fit in?

Still later pictures shows him using a blonde cutaway Guild with a humbucker looking PU. All 4 string tenor models.Last edited by oldane; 05-26-2023 at 03:57 AM.
