Description
The Suhr SSV is John Suhr’s answer for players chasing genuine vintage humbucker character without the squashed, over-compressed feel of modern high-output units. Where the companion DSV leans smooth on top, the SSV pushes back with more midrange growl and aggressive attack—think honk and snarl rather than polite chime. It’s the pickup pros reach for when they need to nail the sound of a bygone era convincingly, not just approximate it.
This bridge-position SSV is wound to 9K ohms DC resistance and wired with 4-conductor cable, giving you the flexibility to run it in series, split it for single-coil tones, or wire it however your circuit demands. That open, uncompressed dynamic response means pick attack and playing nuance come through clearly, whether you’re digging in for rhythm crunch or pulling out lead lines that need to cut.
Housed in a white bobbin and built to Fender-style 53mm pole spacing, this pickup drops into guitars using that mounting standard without routing headaches. Every SSV benefits from three decades of John Suhr’s pickup research, so the construction and consistency behind the tone are as dialed-in as the sound itself.
