ZVH5 – Z-Core 5 Vintage Hot
ZVH5 – Z-Core 5 Vintage Hot
Output 3.2 H
Our Z-Core 5 family of pickups utilize Tone Tuning Technology™ to mimic the frequency response of AlNiCo 5, the magnet alloy that is most closely associated with the classic Strat® tone. The 5 voicing is the most open and transparent, giving that signature, glassy Strat quack in the in between positions, a nice, open, “woody” response in the neck and that classic Strat snap in the bridge. Coming in at 3.2 Henries, the Z-Core 5 Vintage Hot has a response similar to a slightly overwound aftermarket or boutique pickup, still very Stratty but just a bit hotter than anything that came out of a vintage guitar. While the ZVH5 measures close to 6000 Ω resistance, it is similar to a conventional pickup wound to about 7000 Ω.
