Description
The DSV Bridge pickup is John Suhr’s answer for players who love the vintage-voiced honk of the SSV but want a touch more warmth and push underneath it. Wound a bit hotter than its sibling, the DSV trades some of that snarl for increased sustain and a rounder, smoother high end — without falling into the compressed, one-dimensional bark that plagues a lot of modern high-output humbuckers.
Under the hood you’ll find an Alnico V magnet doing the heavy lifting, delivering the kind of open, dynamic response that lets pick attack and playing dynamics come through clearly, whether you’re digging in for a solo or easing into a rhythm part. The double row of visible screws isn’t just cosmetic — it’s part of what gives this pickup its wide sonic window and touch sensitivity, letting chords bloom and single notes cut without harshness.
Built to drop straight into Gibson-style routs, this bridge unit comes in white and wired with 4-conductor hookup wire, so you’ve got full flexibility for coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, or whatever wiring scheme your build calls for.
