The Crying Tiger

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I met the tiger, he was a cryin’.

“These pickups have everything you could ever want. Able to achieve an aggressive bite, they also have the ability to tone it down and produce some incredibly beautiful clean tones with everlasting sustain.

The neck pickup has a gorgeous clarity to it, both when playing clean and driven tones. The hot output allows it to cut through, heavier on the mid and treble side of things you’ll be sure to make a statement. Although the neck pickup has a sharp edge to it, it can also produce some extremely ‘gnarly’ blues tones when pushing it through the right amp. Absolutely perfect for melodic lead guitar work, with inspiration from slightly darker progressive metal tones, you can also hear the “80’s stadium-filled guitar sound” that so many adore.

Together, the neck pickup and the bridge pickup create a lovely blend. It really is the best of both worlds. This tone is fabulous when you’re playing with the cleaner styles, achieving similar results to a Strat tone whilst still maintaining that blues/rock edge.

The bridge pickup is where the Crying Tiger title becomes extremely fitting. This pickup absolutely screams! The pickup is extremely “tight” sounding, it doesn’t need much of a gain-amp combination as the output is so hot already, allowing you to dial back the drive on your amp and still achieve filthy dirty results without a bit of mud in sight.
The bridge pickup is gorgeous when it comes to lead work too, it sings…quite literally.

This pickup combination is the one to go for if you’re looking to achieve that “stank face shred fast” tone and melt some faces!”
