SB-Classic/Bridge: A model meticulously crafted to reproduce the vintage sound, using USA-made Alnico 4 magnets and wire. This model replicates the look and sound of vintage soapbar pickups. The pickups are reverse wound/reverse polarity in each position, providing noise cancellation. It delivers a flat, balanced tone with a crisp, cutting sound. The excellent note separation allows its characteristics to shine even in chord work. Alnico 4 offers a natural sound, positioned between Alnico 2 and 5, making it ideal for players who want to bring out the natural sound of their instrument. The balanced output from low to high frequencies makes it easy to shape your sound and is well-suited for recording. ◆ Specifications Model: SB-Classic Position: Bridge Magnet: Alnico IV Resistance: 7.81kΩ Accessories: Mounting screws *Based on manufacturer specifications GOTOH PICKUPS was founded in 1966 and has been a long-standing manufacturer committed to producing purely made-in-Japan pickups since the dawn of the guitar. With high quality and low prices, their cost performance is likely the best in the world. They have been popular overseas for a long time, yet it's a curious fact that they are not very well-known domestically. The reason for this seems to be the perception that Gotoh Pickups lack distinct characteristics. Considering why such high-quality products are perceived this way: They have been used in models from various companies such as TOKAI, FERNANDES, and Fender Japan for a long time, making their sound familiar. Because "the overall balance is very good and resonates well across all frequencies," it's difficult to pinpoint the unique characteristics of the pickups. (In reality, parts and wires that are said to be characteristic in a certain frequency range often only prevent other frequency ranges from resonating.) They have sufficient power and a good overall output balance, with a lineup that is distinctive and easy to understand! If you're unsure, this is the pickup to choose! It's a pickup with the quality to be recommended. While overseas high-end manufacturers are now outsourcing production to Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Indonesia, Gotoh Pickups has remained steadfast in its commitment to purely made-in-Japan production since the beginning! Highly recommended. #GotohPU #GOTOHPICKUPS #GotohPickups
