Well i guess the name comes from the "T" on the bobbins. They´re a little brighter than normal pickup but when i crank my amp i get added bass and still i prefer brighter and lower output. Angus Young is suppoused to have T-Tops in his old SG as well. Oh, i guess you mean bad reputation.. ...

I know that feeling.

Just to let you guys know, a Floyd Rose bridge eats all the bass for breakfust and kills sustain.
The more Fender tremolo style bridge is alot better in a tone perspective.
Good tuners and a good nut and the guitar could stay in tune.
