Aldrich 53mm Bridge & Neck Raw Nickel w/ V63+ Middle Parchment

Suhr - This is the HSH set of pickups Suhr uses in their Ian Thornley Classic S Guitar

ALDRICH BRIDGE 53mm

The result of collaboration between John Suhr and rock guitarist extraordinaire Doug Aldrich, the Aldrich humbuckers are the ultimate high-output pickups for aggressive rock style of playing. The Aldrich bridge humbucker is now our highest output pickup but it oozes tone across its sound spectrum.

It’s big sounding yet focused and punchy in the mids and tight in the lows. You will never hear this pickup get flubby and undefined in the highest gain settings. The high-mids will cut through like the sharpest knife but the treble will be sweet and never grating on the ears. From chunky low-string metal riffing to screaming string bends in the high register, the Aldrich bridge humbucker covers them all while retaining the dynamics of your picking attack.

Key Features:

• Aldrich Bridge DC RESISTANCE: ~ 17.5KΩ
• MAGNET TYPE: Alnico V Special
• HOOK UP WIRE: 4-Conductor

V63+ MIDDLE

The V63+ started with John’s V63 design and he overwound it, creating a hotter pickup with more output and incredibly rich tone. Previously referred to as the ‘ML’, we’ve updated the name to help players better understand the tonal response and sound. The V63+ pickups offer a balance of tight lows, focused midrange and smooth top-end sparkle. V63+ pickups incorporate a modified staggered pole piece design to provide an even magnetic field needed to accommodate instruments with flatter neck radiuses and today’s string gauges.

Key Features:

• V63+ Middle DC RESISTANCE: ~ 6.5KO Reverse Wind/Reverse Polarity
• MAGNET TYPE: Alnico V
• HOOK UP WIRE: Braided Cloth

ALDRICH NECK

The result of collaboration between John Suhr and rock guitarist extraordinaire Doug Aldrich, the Aldrich humbuckers are the ultimate high-output pickups for aggressive rock style of playing. The Aldrich bridge humbucker is now our highest output pickup but it oozes tone across its sound spectrum.

The Doug Aldrich Neck humbucker is the perfect complement to the Aldrich bridge pickup. Carefully calibrated for the neck position, the Aldrich neck pickup is warm, clear with exceptional string-to-string balance. This is our highest output neck humbucker pickup but it never gets muddy or undefined.

Key Features:

• Aldrich Neck DC RESISTANCE: ~ 9.0KΩ
