For heavier and brighter-toned instruments (electric guitars) with ash or alder bodies. Works well with maple or rosewood fingerboards.
This is the next step up from the SSL-5 and SSL-6 with more sustain, fullness, and output - and less treble response. The raised flat Alnico 5 pole pieces are taller for a stronger and deeper magnetic field. Extra coil windings provide extra power making this pickup great for heavier music styles. White cover included. Comes with a single conductor cable with PVC coating.
(Many players use an SSL-3 in the bridge position with vintage output pickups, like SSL-2's, in the neck and middle for tonal versatility.)
The SSL-3 Hot is available as regular pickup, as RW/RP middle pickup, as tapped version (for dual output levels), and as combination RWRP/tapped.
