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. 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.
Aldrich Humbucker, Neck 50mm, Zebra
Across his decorated career, Doug Aldrich has deployed his high-octane chops with the likes of Lion, Whitesnake, Dio, and The Dead Daisies, tearing up stages worldwide with his armory of robust riffage and fiery licks. When Doug needed the right pickups to support his diverse, aggressive style, Suhr answered the call with a pair of passive Alnico V-endowed humbuckers that deliver heaps of heat, versatile voicing, and full-spectrum balance.
Bridge- and neck-mounted varieties have each been painstakingly calibrated for premium performance, impressing techs with their malleable yet focused character. Brimming with presence, Aldrich humbuckers conjure hard-hitting mids, scorching highs, and punchy lows, retaining outstanding definition that cuts through your mix without piercing the ears. The bridge pickup preserves dynamics and the details of your picking attack while the neck humbucker imbues tones with a smoldering warmth that won’t sacrifice its balanced voicing throughout the spectrum.
SUHR: UNRIVALED IN CRAFTSMANSHIP
Suhr doesn’t just build handcrafted, boutique-quality instruments and amplifiers — the company creates exceptional tools that fuel musical dreams and artistic passions. John Suhr began crafting custom guitars in the mid-1970s, and by the dawn of the 1980s, he was building made-to-order Pensa-Suhr instruments for a who’s who of top musicians. In the 1990s, John collaborated with celebrated rig builder Bob Bradshaw to design the now-legendary CAA 3+ and 3+SE preamps and the CAA OD-100 amplifier. In 1997, after a stint as senior master builder for Fender’s Custom Shop, John founded his own company, a decision that enabled him to bring to fruition products of unrivaled quality, detail, and craftsmanship.
Today, the Suhr name is synonymous with prestige; a guitar, bass, or amplifier with the Suhr marque garners instant respect. With elite players such as Mateus Asato, Reb Beach, Scott Henderson, James Norbert Ivanyi, Andre Nieri, Pete Thorn, Ian Thornley, Doug Aldrich, and Andy Wood on the company’s roster, you can be certain that your Suhr places you in esteemed company.
