The bridge pickup brings out more crunch and bite, but is still more than smooth enough for soaring lead lines. You'll find the neck pickup is rich and fat, beefing up each note you play with vintage low end warmth. Whether you like it clean or crunchy, soft or loud – these pickups will never let you down.
