"Vertigo" (spatial disorientation), the name was given because of the way one gets lost in playing during the pickup test phase, forgetting about time. The tone is a realization of a vintage Stratocaster's low-gain, moderate range, and a light drive that clings to the wound strings around the 12th fret. Like Fender vintage Stratocasters, these pickups use S-pole top, CW winding, and Alnico 5 magnets, with a winding pattern of 4 types, wound approximately 1000 turns. Regarding the tone, it is generally bright, with a wide range from low to high frequencies. The neck pickup has a low-frequency bias, with a strong compression feel, especially around the 12th fret. When a moderate distortion is applied to single notes, a pleasant blues feel can be felt. The middle pickup has a good balance, and is versatile, suppressing the low frequencies more than the neck pickup. The bridge pickup has a high-frequency bias. It pairs well with overdrive, and the sound cuts through well even during riff playing. All positions have the same polarity and winding direction, so hum cancellation does not work in the half-tone position. Instead, the sound seems to come forward in the half-tone position, resulting in a more present tone. Compared to the 1961 "Glory Days" that we have offered with Tourus, it is slightly brighter, with a wider range and a little more power. The same impression is obtained when compared to my reference, the Custom Shop '60. If you are considering vintage pickups, please try these once before trying expensive pickups. *Since these are new pickups, aging is required for about 1-2 hours after replacement.
