mast twang aa gaya
mera purana setup kaam nahi kar raha tha toh yeh bridge pickup try kiya. alnico 5 magnets ki wajah se sound ekdum crisp aur clean aane laga hai. microphonic squeal ka koi problem nahi hai abhi tak.

good bridge pickup for practice
i fitted this on my tele before heading out for my daily office shift and evening jam sessions. the response to pick attack is quite unique, soft when you play light and punchy when you hit hard. packaging was fine and delivery was quick.
