Description
Before he ever wound a coil, John Suhr took apart a stack of genuine vintage single-coils to figure out what actually separated the great ones from the merely old. He measured magnet gauss, counted coil turns, and studied wire gauge until the formula behind those legendary tones was clear. The V60 and V60LP are the result: pickups built with the same magnet type used in the real thing, not just a nostalgic guess at it.
This is the V60LP — the Low Peak version — designed for the neck position and wound in the looser, hand-scatterwound style found in some early-60s originals. That construction rolls off some of the peakiness of a standard single-coil, trading a touch of top-end aggression for highs that sit sweeter and rounder in the mix. You still get the bell-clear chime that defines a great vintage-voiced neck pickup, but it arrives softened at the edges rather than icy or thin.
Underneath that top end sits the rest of the vintage single-coil signature: punchy, present mids and lows that stay big without turning loose or flabby. It’s the kind of balance that lets a neck pickup work for clean, glassy rhythm tones as easily as it does for warm, articulate lead lines.
- Neck position single-coil pickup
- Low Peak (LP) hand-scatterwound coil construction
- DC Resistance: 6.3K ohms (neck/middle spec)
- Vintage-style magnet matched to early-60s originals
For players chasing genuine vintage single-coil character with a rounder, less harsh top end, the V60LP neck pickup delivers exactly that.
