■ Details
The Aldrich is one of Suhr's standard pickups. It's rare to find a pickup that's this fun to play with distortion.
When you're tired or frustrated, playing with distortion can really clear your mind.

You might think the Aldrich is a high-power pickup that goes wild due to its high resistance, but when you actually play it, it's not just about raw power.
(Personally, I prefer this over the SSH+ often found in Suhr guitars sold in stores, even with similar 17kΩ resistance.)
Unlike the boomy, buzzy sound you might expect from high resistance, the overall balance is superb, and the note separation is just right, making chords sound clear and pleasant.
It has a fine-grained distortion with rich harmonics, excellent pick response, and it's easy to achieve picking harmonics.
Adjusting the height can really dial in the sweet spot, so try experimenting with it.

Some people say it sounds similar to the JB (SH-4), but I've never felt any resemblance to the JB. It's a completely different pickup. (I personally dislike the JB so much that I'd remove or modify it immediately if it were installed in a guitar.)
For clean tones, tapping is more usable, but parallel wiring is recommended.
Try this if you're struggling to balance your sound.

In my personal opinion, the Aldrich in the neck position is quite subtle. If you're pairing it, I recommend a versatile pickup like the SSV, adjusted for height, as it's more flexible when swapping pickups between guitars.

Thank you for your consideration.
