Description
The Suhr SSV Neck Humbucker embodies the essence of vintage PAF tone — warm, expressive, and harmonically rich — while offering the clarity and definition demanded by today’s players. Engineered with Alnico V magnets and a carefully balanced coil wind, the SSV Neck delivers smooth sustain, open midrange response, and a dynamic feel that faithfully translates every nuance of your playing.
This pickup captures the soulful character of late-’50s humbuckers, making it ideal for everything from glassy clean passages to singing overdriven leads. It pairs perfectly with the SSV Bridge or SSV+ Bridge for a cohesive tonal blend across positions. Whether you’re chasing classic rock tones or articulate jazz voicings, the SSV Neck maintains note separation and warmth without ever sounding muddy.
