Description
The V70 bridge pickup is Suhr’s answer for players chasing the single-coil voice that defined the 1970s — that era when blues, rock, and R&B guitarists were bending strings through walls of amplifiers and inventing the riffs we still chase today. This isn’t a vintage reissue chasing nostalgia for its own sake; it’s a precisely engineered pickup that captures that sound with modern consistency.
Each V70 is hand-built using Suhr’s proprietary winding process, with plain enamel wire wrapped around specially formulated Alnico V magnets and mounted on vintage-correct gray fiber bottoms. The pole pieces use a modified stagger designed to even out the magnetic field across the strings — a detail that pays off the moment you dig into a multi-step bend, keeping every string balanced whether you’re playing a vintage-radius neck or one of today’s flatter fingerboards.
Tonally, the V70 bridge is quick to respond and full of nuance: tight, snappy low end paired with shimmering top end that cuts through a mix without ever turning brittle or harsh. It’s built to reward dynamic playing rather than mask it.
