The Virtual Vintage 54 Pro
uses the same groundbreaking technology as our Area 58 and Area 61
pickups. The Virtual Vintage 54 Pro replaces the Virtual Vintage 54 and
VirtuAL 2 middle pickups. It has a warm, smoky sound, fattens up when
you pick hard, and has a special grade of Alnico 2 magnet to reduce
string pull. Like all of the Virtual Vintage models, it’s dead quiet.
The
major difference between the Virtual Vintage 54 Pro and the Area 61
is in pick attack. The Virtual Vintage 54 Pro has a fatter, “woody”
tone, and the sound almost seems to compress when picked hard. Blues
players favor this type of sound for the way it fattens up solos,
particularly in the bridge position. It's also good in the neck and
middle positions to warm up bright-sounding guitars.
