Tried one. As much as I dig Aldrich and his tone, the pickup left me underwhelmed and I got rid of it.

Re: Suhr doug aldrich pickups
Used to have a pair in the les paul I used to own
Bridge is super tight in the bottom end, nice upper mid spike and smooth but articulate top end
Alnico 5, ~17k
Neck is about the same, tight bass, smooth top end, good mids.......best high gain, liquid lead tone ever.
Alnico 5 ~9k
Great for crunchy gain, but best for high gain tones. Does blues and clean surprisingly well for being hot pickups

The aldrich pups are pretty smooth sounding, but still bright

Re: Suhr doug aldrich pickups
meh, as much as I wanted to like it, I found it flat and soft on the highs. I put a DiMarzio AT-1 in the same guitar and it made it happen.
everything looked good on paper and some dudes dig it. I wish it would have been what I expected.

Re: Suhr doug aldrich pickups
Depends on what you're going for. They are a good choice if you need lots of punch and power without sounding too "modern".
Sometimes too warm! The Aldrich neck isn't the clearest or best sounding match for the neck position. For the same core tone as the Aldrich with plenty of warmth and a bit more clarity, check out the Suhr SSV. That is what Aldrich used before moving to his signature set.
Yes, the Aldrich bridge is big, full and powerful. It manages singing harmonics easily.
In regards to warmth and power, yes. However, "better" is always subjective and depends entirely on a player's technique, gear, typical style of music and personal taste.

Re: Suhr doug aldrich pickups
BTW, the Alt 8 is obviously in the bridge. I put the Full Shred in the neck which is tight and articulate with no low end boom. I have a feeling you might want to go another rout for the neck though. Maybe the Alnico Pro II.
What I didn't like about the Classic 57 was the warm high end. I needed more cut.

I don't play metal, I play heavy metal??
I've heard the Alt 8 is pretty versatile. I want to put that pickup in my explorer.
