Hi all,
Recently got my first Strandberg. Came with SSV neck and SSH+ bridge pickups.
Loving the guitar but the pickups are really noisy. I have Dimarzio high output pickups in my other guitars so the Suhr pickups are a first for me. Even with gobs of gain the Dimarzio’s are surprisingly quiet. The Shur buzz a lot, even in full humbucking mode. I have confirmed wiring is correct and guitar is well grounded and shielded. All positions the correct coils are activated so doesn’t seem to be any stray short circuits.
Anyone have these pickups? Are they just really noisy with gain? Perhaps there was a mismatch in coil windings?
As both the neck and the bridge are noisy, the chances of both pickups being dud is probably low. They sound terrific otherwise so maybe they are just noisy?
Wanted to ask knowledgeable people here first before I go back to Strandberg or Suhr.
