Description
Chasing that gritty, overdriven blues tone on a Strat but tired of your single-coils folding under pressure? The Virtual Vintage Blues trades the thin, glassy edge of a stock single-coil for real weight and push, without losing that Strat character you’re after.
- Alnico 5 magnet for warm, rounded highs and firm low-end
- 145mV output — enough grunt to drive an amp into breakup without sounding compressed
- 8.18 kOhm DC resistance, landing it firmly in the punchy, mid-forward camp
- 4-conductor wiring for coil-tap and phase flexibility
- Virtual Vintage hum-canceling design — genuinely dead quiet
Dig in hard and it doesn’t choke — it opens up, especially once your amp starts to overdrive. That extra muscle makes it a natural for the bridge position, particularly on guitars that run thin-sounding or if you’re stringing up light gauge. It’ll fatten up a neck slot too, and pairs nicely as a middle or neck companion to a full-size bridge humbucker when you want cohesive output across positions.
Bottom line: this is a single-coil for players who want blues and rock snarl without dragging along 60-cycle hum. Drop it into a Strat-style guitar and let it do the heavy lifting.
