Kev you've been hawking those suhr pick ups for a while now!!!! So long in fact that I am mildly interested. Can you tell me a bit more about them old chum
They are a total bargain. Almost half the price you'd pay in the US. Then you consider P&P, import tax, etc.Originally Posted by travisthedog
As far as descriptions go.........I can't say it any better than the Suhr site................
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
If only those suhr pickups had nickel covers....
You can fit them very easily!

Tremolo arrived this morning thanks Kev. Wasn't expecting it to have the box and manual as well so that was nice.
