Description
Built alongside rock guitarist Doug Aldrich, this Suhr humbucker was voiced for players who need serious gain on tap but refuse to sacrifice articulation. It’s the bridge half of the Aldrich set, engineered by John Suhr’s team at JS Technologies to push hard into distortion while keeping every note in a chord distinct — no mush, no smear, just tight low end and cutting highs that hold up under heavy drive.
This pickup measures in at 17.5K ohms DC resistance, making it one of the hotter bridge humbuckers in the Suhr catalog, and it’s wound with 4-conductor wire so you’ve got full flexibility for coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, or whatever wiring scheme your project calls for. The nickel cover gives it a vintage-correct look that suits both refin projects and builds going for a warmer, less aggressive visual than chrome.
This particular version is cut for Fender-style trem spacing at 53mm, so it drops straight into Strat-style routs and HSH/HH builds without any pole-piece alignment headaches. A Gibson-style 50mm version is also available if you’re working on a set-neck or bolt-on with traditional spacing.
Pair it with the matching Aldrich neck humbucker and you get a genuinely cohesive set — Suhr calibrated the neck pickup’s output specifically to balance against this bridge unit, so rhythm chug, blues leads, and high-gain runs all sit right no matter which pickup you’re on.
