Description
If your ear keeps drifting toward the era of fuzzed-out riffs and long, bending solos, the V70 middle pickup is aimed squarely at you. Suhr built this one around the tonal DNA of vintage 70’s single coils, then refined it with modern winding precision so it actually holds up on today’s guitars.
- Alnico V magnets with a modified staggered pole piece layout for an even magnetic field across the strings — great for wide, multi-step bends and flatter fingerboard radii
- Plain enamel wire, hand-wound using Suhr’s proprietary process
- Vintage-correct gray fiber bottoms and Teflon hook-up wire
- RW/RP configuration in the middle slot for quieter, hum-cancelling combinations with neck or bridge
- DC Resistance: 5.8K
- White cover
Tonally, this isn’t a one-note vintage clone — it’s dynamic enough to track everything you throw at it, from a light touch to a dug-in attack. Expect tight, snappy low end and top-end shimmer that stays musical instead of turning brittle or harsh, whether you’re playing blues turnarounds, R&B rhythm work, or full-tilt classic rock leads.
Drop it into a Strat-style middle position for that classic scooped-but-alive quack, especially when paired with the neck or bridge pickup for the in-between tones the 70’s made famous.
