Frequently Asked Questions
While designed primarily for Floyd Rose systems, it *can* work with vintage tremolos, but string pull might be more noticeable.
The TB-59 has a slightly tighter low-end and a bit more focused midrange due to the ceramic magnet, compared to the Alnico 5 in the SH-59.
It's best suited for wider spacing; on narrower guitars, the pickup might sound constricted and require adjustments to avoid string contact.
