With high quality and low prices, its cost performance is probably the best in the world, and it has been popular overseas for a long time. It's 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've 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. "The overall balance is very good, and it sounds good in all frequency ranges," so 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 in a certain frequency range often only don't sound in other frequency ranges.) 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 it! 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 has been consistently made in Japan since the old days!
