Tone & Output Characteristics
With a DC resistance of 7.92k, this pickup produces a balanced output that avoids the flabbiness of overwound neck pickups while maintaining enough presence for solos and leads. The Alnico 8 magnet yields a crisp, focused frequency response with excellent string definition across all six strings.

What genres is this pickup best suited for?
