It has a higher output and a more modern sound. Uses Alnico 5 magnets. The sound tends to have a thick low end and a bright, clear high end. It has a slightly scooped sound with a glossy feel and high output, making it popular. ◆Specifications Model: JB-Classic α Position: Bridge Magnet: Alnico V Resistance: 8.94kΩ Accessories: Mounting screws & springs ※Based on manufacturer specifications GOTOH PICKUPS was founded in 1966 and has been a long-established PU manufacturer that has consistently focused on being purely made in Japan since the dawn of the guitar. With high quality and low prices, it is probably the world's number one manufacturer in terms of cost performance. It has been popular overseas for a long time, but for some reason, it's a mysterious manufacturer that isn't often heard of in Japan. The reason for this seems to be the image that Gotoh Pickups lacks distinctive features. I've thought about why such high-quality products are perceived this way. They have been used in standard models of various companies such as TOKAI, FERNANDES, and Fender Japan for a long time, so people are used to hearing them. Because "the overall balance is very good and sounds good in all frequency ranges," it's difficult to grasp the characteristics of the PU. (※In reality, parts and wires that are said to be characteristic in a certain frequency range often only fail to produce sound in other frequency ranges.) They have sufficient power, good overall output balance, and a lineup of models that are distinctive and easy to understand! If you're unsure, this is the one to choose! These pickups have the quality to be recommended. While high-end overseas manufacturers are now outsourcing production to Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Indonesia, Gotoh Pickups has remained purely made in Japan since the beginning! Highly recommended! #ゴトーPU #GOTOHPICKUPS #ゴトーピックアップス
