Uses thick ceramic magnets! "TL-Custom / Bridge" Ceramic is often considered a low-cost model because the material is cheaper than Alnico magnets. However, ceramic magnets have many unique advantages, such as good sound clarity, a good sound balance across all frequency ranges, and a moderate, gritty distortion when overdriven. They also don't degrade in magnetic strength over time, offering stable performance. And of course, the low price is a big advantage! ◆ Specifications Model: TL-Custom Position: Bridge Magnet: Ceramic Resistance: 7.94kΩ Accessories: Mounting screws & springs *Based on manufacturer specifications GOTOH PICKUPS was founded in 1966 and has been a long-standing PU manufacturer that has always been committed to being purely made in Japan since the dawn of the guitar. With high quality and low prices, they likely have the highest cost performance in the world. They have been popular overseas for a long time, but for some reason, they are not very well-known in Japan. The reason for this seems to be that Gotoh Pickups has an image of lacking distinctiveness. I've thought about why such high-quality products are perceived this way. Perhaps it's because they have been used in standard models of various companies such as TOKAI, FERNANDES, and Fender Japan for a long time, making them familiar. Or perhaps it's because "the overall balance is very good, and they sound good across all frequency ranges," making it 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 ranges.) They have sufficient power, a good overall output balance, and a lineup of models that are distinctive and easy to understand! If you're unsure, choose these! These pickups have the quality to be recommended. While high-end overseas manufacturers are now outsourcing production to Asian countries such as China, South 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
