As you might expect from single coil pickups, the Essentials produce an articulate, crystal clear, and somewhat glassy tone. Classic pickups, for a classic style. However, there is a modern twist, as these single coils have been designed to take gain extremely well for a retro ‘80s hair metal sound.

Dyna-MIX8 Switching System with Alter Switch

The dyna-MIX8 offers 8 sound variations for you to unlock different single coil modes with just a flick of the mini switch. One mode even simulates a humbucking sound from the combination of two single-coil pickups for a crunchy and beefy tone giving you vast versatility.
