Testbed

All pickups were tested on a Warmoth 2 piece alder strat body, with a Callaham vintage style tremolo, Warmoth maple neck and rosewood board.

The recordings were made without an amp, speaker or amp simulator. This is not how the pickups would normally sound. These recordings were made only for direct comparison. The tracks toggle back and forth between pickups at every bar.
