Stock pickup set

Bridge: Hot Rock Humbucker
Neck: De La Creme Neck Humbucker

Chosen to keep the lows controlled for multiscale tuning while delivering musical neck tones and genuinely usable in-between positions.

What this build excels at: effortless balance on a strap, quick left-hand feel, and the kind of tuning stability that makes modern sessions and live sets feel easy.

Stock pickups: built for multiscale clarity + real-world versatility

The Hot Rock + De La Creme pairing is designed to give you a tight, confident bridge voice for modern rhythm work, and a neck tone that stays smooth and musical for leads and cleans. The 5-way blade makes the in-between positions genuinely useful.

Hot Rock — Bridge

Humbucker • Strong mids • Controlled lows

A bridge voice built for authority and control — stays defined under gain, keeps palm-mutes tight, and holds its place in a dense mix.

Punch + cut: mid presence that keeps riffs forward.
Modern tightness: controlled low end suited to multiscale tuning.
Gain-friendly clarity: stays articulate as saturation increases.
Blends well: useful in-between positions on the 5-way.

Best for

Modern rock and metal rhythm, punchy leads, tight palm-mutes, and mix-forward tones.

What you’ll hear

Bold mids, controlled lows, and an “immediate” feel that stays defined under gain.

De La Creme — Neck

Warm & clear • Singing leads • Musical cleans

Tuned for sweetness and clarity — clean definition and expressive lead tone without getting muddy or harsh.

Singing lead voice: smooth highs + vocal mids.
Clean definition: chord clarity and note separation.
Useful contrast: a real switch in character from the bridge.
Middle positions shine: bright, usable blended voices on the 5-way.

Best for

Clean passages, melodic neck leads, warm rock solos, and smooth rhythm textures.

What you’ll hear

Sweet, open neck tone with musical mids and a smooth top end—clear without sounding thin.

Why this pairing is deliberate: the bridge delivers drive and definition, the neck stays sweet and expressive — and the 5-way positions add extra mix-ready voices without needing a pickup swap.
