Friedman Classic S Alnico 3 Single-Coil Middle Pickup Black Middle

The Friedman Classic S Alnico 3 single-coil middle pickup captures the unmistakable sparkle and dynamic touch response that vintage single-coil fans crave. Custom voiced by Dave Friedman and built in the USA by Grover Jackson's expert team, this middle-position single-coil uses a slightly hotter winding and a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity (RWRP) configuration for hum-cancelling clarity in combination settings. Expect crisp cleans, lively attack and that sweet midrange push that sings through both clean amps and driven rigs. Classic Single-Coil Sparkle With Hum-Cancelling Clarity With a DC resistance of 7.3K and Alnico 3 magnets, the Classic S middle pickup strikes the perfect balance between vintage output and present-day versatility. Its RWRP winding means hum is significantly reduced when paired with neck or bridge pickups in positions 2 and 4—delivering those iconic quacky tones without the buzz. Wax potting keeps unwanted squeal at bay while retaining the open, dynamic top end that single-coil fans love. It's the perfect blend of timeless chime and modern reliability. Made in the USA by Grover Jackson for Reliable Vintage Tone Built with the same commitment to quality as all Friedman pickups, the Classic S middle pickup easily drops into standard single-coil routes. It pairs perfectly with the Classic S neck and bridge pickups for a balanced set or can refresh any S-style guitar with rich, articulate middle-position tones. Whether 're playing jangly rhythms, funky double-stops or layered clean textures, the Classic S middle pickup delivers vintage soul with rock-solid modern performance.
