In the SS configuration, the first pickup is located at the neck position of the guitar and the second pickup is located at the bridge position.
These two pickups produce a clear, crystalline sound and are extremely powerful across the entire frequency spectrum. This means that guitarists can play with a wide range of sounds, from classic country to rock or blues.
The pickups of the Vintage V52 are passive, and do not require external power to operate. Specifically, passive pickups work using magnetism, and produce a signal that is inversely proportional to the movement of the strings.
