If you’re a serious traditional Strat player you probably won’t want to know about pickups with side-by-side coils. But if you’re the player who’s up for something more modern with no 60-cycle hum string drop-outs or sustain-killing magnet pull we designed The Cruiser for you. Harmonic overtones are right where you expect them to be from a ?true single-coil and the mid-range is open and vocal-sounding. It’s hotter than the traditional single-coil and the bass strings have a bit more chunk; this is an excellent pickup to combine with medium-output humbuckers and it maintains its tonal identity with high-gain amps and multiple effects.
