DP187W

DP187W. The CruiserxAE Bridge pickup.
If you’re a serious traditional StratxAE player, you probably won’t want to know about pickups with side-by-side coils. But if you’re the player who’s up for something more modern with no 60-cycle hum, string drop-outs or sustain-killing magnet pull, we designed The CruiserxAE for you. Harmonic overtones are right where you expect them to be from a x93truex94 single-coil, and the mid-range is open and vocal-sounding. It’s hotter than the traditional single-coil, and the bass strings have a bit more chunk; this is an excellent pickup to combine with medium-output humbuckers, and it maintains its tonal identity with high-gain amps and multiple effects.
Recommended For All positions. Bridge position with lower output models in neck and middle, or neck and middle position with a higher output bridge pickup or full-size humbucker.
Tech Talk
The obvious question about The CruiserxAE is x93How does it compare to a single-coil sound?x94 Our feeling is that the unwound strings (x93Ex94, x93Bx94, and x93Gx94) are very close, and the wound strings (x93Dx94, x93Ax94, and low x93Ex94) are fatter-sounding than a true single-coil. There's also a midrange scoop that's unique to the Cruiser Bridge. This is really effective for getting big-sounding chords, because high and low strings sound more spread out from each other. Having a total magnet pull that's about 40% less than standard single-coils also means The CruiserxAE can be adjusted much closer to the strings for more power than stock pickups can achieve.
