"Vertigo," (spatial disorientation), the name was given because during the pickup test playing, one gets so engrossed that they forget about time. The tone is a realization of a vintage Stratocaster's low-gain, moderate range, and a light drive that clings to the wound strings around the 12th fret. Like a Fender vintage Stratocaster, it uses an S-pole top, CW winding, and Alnico 5 magnets, and is a meticulously crafted pickup with four winding patterns, wound around 1000 turns. Regarding the tone, it's generally bright, with a wide range from low to high frequencies. The neck pickup has a low-frequency bias, with a strong compression feel, especially around the 12th fret. When a moderate distortion is applied to single notes, a pleasant blues feel can be felt. The middle pickup has a good balance, and is versatile, with suppressed low frequencies compared to the neck pickup, making it suitable for all-around use. The bridge pickup has a high-frequency bias. It pairs well with overdrive, and the sound cuts through well even during riff playing. All positions have the same polarity and winding direction, so hum cancellation does not work in the half-tone positions. Instead, the sound seems to come forward in the half-tone positions, resulting in a more present tone. Compared to the 1961 "Glory Days" that we have offered with Tourus, it is slightly brighter and has a wider range and a bit more power. The same impression is obtained when compared to my reference, the Custom Shop '60. If you are considering vintage-style pickups, please try this one before trying expensive pickups. *Since these are new pickups, aging for about 1-2 hours is required after replacement.
