Our DSH and SSH pickups are our most popular humbucking pickups, providing a nice balance between strong output with pronounced mids that will push the front end of a tube amp and sweet open-sounding vintage-style tonality. Whether you need the bridge humbucker to kick your amp into overdrive or provide smooth and clear tones that will cut through the mix, the DSH and SSH pickups give you the sound that will get you heard with startling detail. Only the highest grade components in these pickups assure you that the quality of your playing and of your guitar's acoustic character will faithfully be sent to your amp.

The SSH and DSH pickups are available in black, white, and zebra (black and cream) bobbins. The SSH pickups are also available in chrome or gold covers.

If you need authentic vintage humbucker sounds, there is no need to look any further than our DSV and SSV humbucking pickups. Used by top pros who need to duplicate the great classic sounds of a bygone era, the DSV and SSV pickups have a broad sonic aperture with very little compression artifacts that afflict typical high-output pickups. Go with the DSV for smoother highs or with the SSV for more honk and snarl. 30 years of research and development by John Suhr assure you the quality of experience and workmanship behind each one of our pickups.

The SSV and DSV pickups are available in black, white, and zebra (black and cream) bobbins. The SSV pickups are also available in chrome or gold covers.

The result of collaboration between John Suhr and rock guitarist extraordinaire Doug Aldrich, the Aldrich humbuckers are the ultimate high-output pickups for aggressive rock style of playing. The Aldrich bridge humbucker is now our highest output pickup but it oozes tone across its sound spectrum. It is big sounding yet focused and punchy in the mids and tight in the lows. You will never hear this pickup get flubby and undefined in the highest gain settings. The high-mids will cut through like the sharpest knife but the treble will be sweet and never grating on the ears. From chunky low-string metal riffing to screaming string bends in the high register, the Aldrich bridge humbucker covers them all while retaining the dynamics of your picking attack.

The Aldrich neck humbucker is the perfect complement to the Aldrich bridge pickup. The Aldrich neck pickup has been carefully calibrated for the neck position and to also match the output of the Aldrich bridge pickup. This is our highest output neck humbucker pickup but it never gets muddy or undefined. The Aldrich neck humbucker retains the clear string-to-string balance with warmth in the mids, tight and clear lows, and sweet singing highs. Whether it’s chunky crunch rhythm sounds, sweet bluesy leads or fluid high-gain lead sounds you need from a neck humbucker, the Aldrich delivers in spades and then some.

DC Resistance: 17.5K ohms for the bridge position, 9K ohms for the neck position, 4-conductor wire

The V60 pickup faithfully recreates the classic single-coil sounds of the 60's. The pickup also uses the same magnet that were used in the pickups made during this era. What you get are clear bell-like highs, warm and punchy mids, and big yet firm lows that are the hallmark of great vintage pickups, which aren't as common as one might be led to believe. John Suhr examined a variety of vintage pickups and found that some sound much better than others and took apart the great ones to find out why, measuring the gauss of the magnets to counting the number of turns of the coil wires. The V60LP replicates the handwound pattern of some early-60's single-coil pickups and impart sweeter and rounder highs.

The V60 pickup is calibrated for each position, including for the middle position with reverse winding and reverse polarity.

DC Resistance: 7.2K ohms for bridge, 6.3K ohms for neck and middle pickups
