The Tone Zone S brings the
famous performance of the Tone Zone to a humbucking Strat replacement
pickup. We’ve built in the tremendous mid-range and bass response of the
original Tone Zone, and the same patented dual-resonance design
produces great harmonics. We also took into account the likelihood of
installing The Tone Zone S in the classic slanted Strat bridge
position, warming up the higher frequencies and brightening the low
notes a little. It has 4-conductor wiring for parallel humbucking and
split-coil modes, and makes a great bridge position combination with
the Pro Track, The Chopper, and Fast Track 1.
If you compare the
specs of the full-size Tone Zone with those of The Tone Zone S, you
will notice they don't match. That's because the trick in building a
single-coil size pickup to sound like its big brother is to go for the
sound rather than the numbers. We also took into account the
likelihood that The Tone Zone S will be installed in the classic
slanted Strat bridge position, so we warmed up the higher frequencies
and brightened the low notes a little to compensate.
