A veteran manufacturer of domestic pickups! "GOTOH PICKUPS" "HB-Classic Alpha," a more modern arrangement of the HB-Classic. More modern sound compared to Classic. The output and sound are arranged depending on the position, making it rich in expression. The number of coil turns has been increased compared to the HB-Classic, increasing the output. Alnico 2 is used for the magnet, providing a warm and sweet low-end and a powerful mid-range, resulting in a warm, glossy, and dynamic sound! It picks up the nuances of your fingertips well, so it will be useful in live performances! ◆Specifications Model: HB-Classic α Position: Neck Magnet: Alnico II Pitch: 9.8mm Resistance: 7.67kΩ Accessories: Mounting screws & springs ※Based on manufacturer specifications GOTOH PICKUPS was founded in 1966, and has been a veteran PU manufacturer, sticking to purely domestic production since the dawn of guitars. High quality and low price, extremely high cost performance, is probably the best manufacturer in the world, and of course, it has been very popular overseas for a long time, but it is a mysterious manufacturer that you don't hear much about in Japan. The reason for this seems to be that Gotoh Pickups has an image of not having any distinctive features. I thought about why such high-quality products are like that. 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 it sounds good in all frequency bands," It's difficult to grasp the characteristics of the PU, etc., are the reasons. (※In reality, parts and wires that are said to be characteristic of a certain frequency band often only fail to sound in other frequency bands.) It has sufficient power, a good overall output balance, and a lineup of models that are distinctive and easy to understand! If you're at a loss, this is the one! These are pickups with enough quality to say. While overseas high-end manufacturers are now outsourcing production to Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Indonesia, Gotoh Pickups, which has been consistently made in Japan since the old days!
