SB-Classic / Neck: A model meticulously crafted to reproduce the vintage sound, using USA-made Alnico 4 magnets and wire. This model recreates 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 it to shine in chord work. Alnico 4 magnets, also used in Duncan's '59 model, are highly regarded. They offer a natural sound, positioned between Alnico 2 and 5, making them easy to shape and ideal for recording.

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, but for some reason, they are not very well-known domestically. The reason for this seems to be the perception that Gotoh Pickups lack distinct characteristics. We've considered 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, making them familiar. Because "the overall balance is very good, and they sound good across all frequency ranges," it's difficult to grasp the unique characteristics of the PU. (※In reality, parts and wires that are said to be characteristic in a certain frequency range often only prevent other frequency ranges from sounding.) They have sufficient power and a good overall output balance, with a lineup of models that are distinctive and easy to understand! If you're unsure, this is the one to choose! While overseas high-end manufacturers are now outsourcing production to Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Indonesia, Gotoh Pickups has remained consistently and purely Japanese-made since the beginning! Highly recommended! #ゴトーPU #GOTOHPICKUPS #ゴトーピックアップス
