HSS 57/67

A Classic Sounding HSS Setup

Adreas Kloppmann began working on guitars in the mid โ€˜80โ€™s, during that time Andreas collected data from every pickup which passed his workbench. In the โ€˜90โ€™s Andreas improved the analysis methods to further understand pickups and with the assistance of artists such as Thomas Blug, Jรผrgen Attig and Peter Weihe he discovered which frequencies found in specific pickup tones corresponded with which famous guitar tones he loved such as Hendrix, Hank Marvin and Pastorius.

Based on this ever developing knowledge, Kloppmann can now analyse the sound of a pickup from its data and decide what its ideal purpose is as well as replicate our favourite tones from musical history.

The clear yet smoky tone of a 57 PAF bridge pickup from the HB 57 set combined with the bite from the ST 67 set’s middle and neck pickups blend in such a way that gives an ultimate classic rock super strat experience capable of so very much yet retaining the finesse and quality of tone.
