Ceramic / D.C. =7.5k- This Strat replacement pickup has hot single coils with a big, punchy low end response and cutting midrange. Slightly darker and hotter than the VS4. Excellent upgrade for thin or bright guitars. The perfect start pickup for the guitarist who prefers a beefed up bridge position and more tonal balance between other positions. Great for blues, funk, and rock. Don’t forget this one when you go to Texas! Staggered ceramic magnets.
