Lollar Pickups | 2 years ago
Lollar Pickups' Shop Sessions is a performance series that features an assortment of artists playing a variety of styles. All filmed live in a single take right here in the Lollar production shop. There's no talking, no sales pitch, and no sterile sound demos or pickup specs. It's just musicians making music. As much as we're sure you'll find these videos enjoyable to listen to and watch, we also hope that they can offer a better idea of how our products sound in the context of a performance.
In this episode, we welcome Jeff Fielder and Johnny Sang ster into the shop.
