Lollar Pickups Releases the Novel Broiler Single-coil Pickup

The Novel Broiler is a larger version of Lollar's MiniBroiler, inspired by Rickenbacker’s “Toaster” pickups.


Lollar Pickups new Novel Series of pickups takes several of the company’s classic single-coil pickup designs and reconfigures them to fit in a standard PAF humbucker-size rout. The latest addition to the Novel Series is the Rickenbacker-inspired NovelBroiler single coil.

The Novel Broiler is a larger version of Lollar’s MiniBroiler, which was inspired by the classic jangle of Rickenbacker’s “Toaster” pickups. The Novel Broiler offers the same bright chime and sparkle as the MiniBroiler, but in a larger enclosure that will easily install in most guitars routed for PAF-size humbuckers.

This Novel Broiler is an excellent choice for a wide variety of players looking for the jangle associated with Toaster pickups, but want it in a guitar routed for humbuckers. The NovelBroiler sounds just as good with six strings as twelve, offering customers an easy “ticket to ride” to the guitar tone of classic Beatles, Byrds, or Petty.

Others will love the Novel Broiler simply because it offers something different. A complex, rich high end with excellent note definition and clarity make it a great choice for bringing out nuance and liveliness from dark or dull guitars. Its excellent articulation makes it a great fit for strummers and finger pickers alike.

The Novel Broiler is available immediately in several color options. Pricing is $175 in nickel or chrome, and $185 in gold or black chrome.
