Uses high-quality ceramic magnets! "ST-Custom / Bridge" Coil arrangements are applied for each position, resulting in pickups with a wide range and high output, yet with a very balanced sound. Ceramic magnets are often considered a cheaper alternative to Alnico magnets because the material is less expensive. However, ceramic magnets have many unique advantages, such as excellent note separation, a good sound balance across all frequencies, and a pleasantly gritty distortion when overdriven. They also don't degrade in magnetic strength over time, ensuring stable performance. Of course, the low price is also a major advantage! ◆ Specifications Model: ST-Custom Position: Bridge Magnet: Ceramic Resistance: 6.98kΩ Accessories: Mounting screws & springs ※ Based on manufacturer specifications GOTOH PICKUPS was founded in 1966 and has been a long-standing PU manufacturer, consistently sticking to pure domestic production since the dawn of the guitar. With high quality and low prices, their cost performance is probably 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 distinctive features. I'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 sounds great across all frequencies," it's 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 ranges.) They have sufficient power, a 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 high-end overseas manufacturers are now outsourcing production to Asian countries such as China, South Korea, and Indonesia, Gotoh Pickups has remained consistently made in Japan since the beginning! Highly recommended! #ゴトーPU #GOTOHPICKUPS #ゴトーピックアップス
