Guilded, I have experience with a vintage RC 1000, if that’s any help; they can’t be that much different.
Mine is the ‘ monkey on a stick’ variety, I couldn’t bring myself to put holes in the neck to mount the other kind.
I use it on a ‘35 Gibson L-50. It is an extremely satisfying combination.
It sounds great through all of the Fender amps you mentioned; I have them all. It also shines played through a (in my case Gibson GA-20) tweed amp.
there was a little bit of a learning curve with this PU, though. I was a little disappointed at first; it sounded spikey and brittle. I’ve since discovered that the volume needs to be rolled back to about halfway and room volume controlled from the amp. That gives the fat, honking vintage tone I want.
One knock on the 1000 is the B string is louder than the rest. I haven’t found it to be a big a deal. The 1100 has adjustable pole pieces, so I guess that takes care of the problem.
the originals are very pricy. The vintage 1100 quite a bit more that the 1000, which was pricy enough.
I hope others with the RC 1100 pipe up; I’m curious, too
