The Aldrich Neck 50 ZEB is Doug Aldrich's signature for a reason – it’s a powerhouse for aggressive rock tones. That Alnico 5 magnet delivers serious bite and sustain, while the 4-wire setup gives you some added options. This is a fantastic choice for players needing a high-output neck pickup that can still articulate well.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Aldrich has a higher output and a slightly more aggressive midrange character than many standard Suhr neck pickups, designed specifically for Aldrich's signature sound.
It's best paired with a similarly high-output bridge pickup to maintain tonal balance; a significantly lower output bridge might sound unbalanced.
While possible, the coil-split tones are more suited for rhythm textures than pristine clean sounds due to the pickup’s inherent high-output design.
