Taking the classic Strat sound to the next level: "ST-Classic Alpha / Neck" The Alpha model features output and sound arrangements depending on the position, achieving even richer expressiveness! Neck: 6.37kΩ, Middle: 6.63kΩ, Bridge: 7.19kΩ Alnico 5 magnets are used. The sound tends to have thick low frequencies and bright, clear high frequencies. It has a slightly scooped sound with a glossy feel and is popular for its high output. GOTOH has arranged the coils for each position. Based on the original sound, which is clear and crisp, the mid-low frequencies have been thickened, and the sound balance has been optimized. ◆ Specifications Model: ST-Classic Position: Neck Magnet: Alnico V Resistance: 6.37kΩ Accessories: Mounting screws & springs ※ Based on manufacturer specifications GOTOH PICKUPS was founded in 1966. It is a long-established PU manufacturer that has been consistently committed to being purely made in Japan since the dawn of guitars. With high quality and low prices, it likely has the best cost performance in the world. It has been popular overseas for a long time, but it's a mysterious manufacturer that is not often heard of in Japan. The reason for this seems to be that Gotoh Pickups has an image of lacking distinctiveness. I have 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, so people are used to hearing them. Because "the overall balance is very good and sounds good in all frequency ranges," it is 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! These pickups have 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 been consistently made in Japan since the beginning! Highly recommended! #ゴトーPU #GOTOHPICKUPS #ゴトーピックアップス
