Seymour Duncan STK-S10B WH YJM Fury

A mio parere trovo che il pick-up al bridge, installato su una fender YJM (dove peraltro questo pick up ora è di serie) risulta più spinto rispetto all HS3 e leggermente più nasale come timbro. Quindi se uno cerca il suono dell' HS3 di Malmsteen prima maniera, compri quello perchè il Fury suona diversamente. E' un ottimo pick up, molto ben costruito e suona meglio sul pulito di un HS3, ma sul distorto lo sento troppo carico rispetto all' HS3 che continuo a preferire.

I fitted the Furies to a Swamp Ash Strat I was building and tested it both live and in the studio. Given Malmsteen's playing style, you'd expect these pickups to suit shred, hard-rock and metal players — and indeed they do — but I was impressed by their versatility.

As expected, the Furies are noticeably hotter and more weighty in the mid-range than regular Strat pickups but they don't overwhelm the distinctive Strat tone. Certainly, the warmer mid-range and sweetened highs make them very overdrive?friendly, but they also work well played clean. I found the bridge pickup less brash and more solid?sounding than those on my regular Strats, reminding me somewhat of a P90. Furthermore, the middle pickup, which many players use only in combination with the neck or bridge pickups, delivers a very useful tone in its own right, again combining power with great definition. I was also surprised at the 'in?between' tone gained from combining the middle pickup with either the bridge or neck pickup, as the sound can thin out quite a lot when using single-coil pickups. Here, the familiar 'phasey' tone was underpinned by a healthy lower?mid weight. All three pickups respond well to playing dynamics, allowing you to 'dig in' for more aggression.

Overall, these pickups turned a typical Strat into something very versatile. Using amp and desk EQ, you can get very close to a classic Strat tone, but you can also make the bridge pickup lean towards a P90?equipped SG sound. If you want to cover most of the tonal bases using a single guitar that also has great noise immunity, this set has a lot to offer. A one?trick pony it is definitely not.

zur 70er Mexico Strat in Olympic white musste natürlich auch der richtige Bridge Pick Up her, der serienmässige klang zwar auch nett, aber ich brauchte einfach einen Humbucker, ich kann halt nur richtig verzerrt und da ich schon die Gitarre möglicht Yngwie-ähnlich gekauft habe, sollte auch wenigstens ein Pickup des Meisters rein.
Der Pickup klingt.... nach Yngwie, höhenlastig, wenig Bass, bringt Verzerrung in die Strat wie gewünscht.
Insgesamt klingt es nicht ganz wie erhofft, was aber an meinen falschen Erwartungen lag, denke ich, dafür ziehe ich einen Stern beim Sound ab.
