ZMD5 – Z-Core 5 Modern
ZMD5 – Z-Core 5 Modern
Output 3.8 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. At 3.8 Henries, it is a good bit hotter than most conventional single-coil pickups but still maintains the classic open and woody response.
