This is a model favored by Yngwie Malmsteen. It has a smooth, warm texture. Recommended for the bridge position. The HS-3 is strongly associated with Yngwie, but it takes effects well and has low noise, making it a user-friendly single-coil pickup. While the output is quite low, it allows the sound to cut through clearly even with heavy distortion, showcasing the appeal of a single-coil. Highly recommended for those beyond just Yngwie fans; it's a single-coil pickup worth trying!
