The Friedman Classic Plus Alnico V humbucking bridge pickup builds on the beloved Friedman Classic line with a hotter wind for players who crave more edge and crunch without sacrificing clarity. Featuring Alnico V magnets, 8.2K output and four-conductor wiring, this humbucker offers a balance of vintage warmth and modern punch that thrives in high-gain environments. Handcrafted in the USA by Grover Jackson, it reflects Dave Friedman's vision for a bridge pickup that handles aggressive riffs and singing leads with ease.
Higher Output for Powerful Humbucker Punch
Wound hotter than the original Classic, the Classic Plus bridge humbucker pushes your amp harder while retaining articulate note separation. The extra output delivers tighter lows and more aggressive mids, perfect for rock and hard rock tones. Whether you're playing chunky riffs or soaring through searing leads, the Classic Plus responds dynamically to your picking hand and volume knob for expressive control on stage or in the studio.
Signature Friedman Voicing and Grover Jackson Craftsmanship
Like all Friedman pickups, the Classic Plus is custom-voiced by Dave Friedman and built in the USA by Grover Jackson. Its Alnico V magnets provide a balanced mix of warmth and bite, while wax potting keeps unwanted squeal at bay even at high volumes. With four-conductor wiring, you can explore coil-splitting or series/parallel options to unlock even more tonal versatility from this powerful humbucker.
