Draws upon the steely, yet woody-sounding tonality of several pickups from the early '60s in a modern version with no hum and less magnet pull. The Area '61 captures the best qualities of pickups that we've heard from early '60s Strats: they were steely, yet woody-sounding. We've nailed this sound, and we've done it with no hum and less magnet-pull. The Ares '61 is good in all three positions, and it's a perfect bridge pickup with a pair of Area '58s if you want to go all the way from Nashville to Texas in one guitar.
