- Nordstrand NP5V 5 String Precision Size Split Coil Pickup
DESCRIPTION
NP5V (Alnico V Magnet)
This pickup is essentially a tamer version of the NP5. A good way to sum up its tone might be to think of the difference between a hard hitting rock player (NP5) to an edgy jazz, blues, or country player (NP5V). Though still equipped with our angled pole design - giving it some extra gruff and growl in its mid and low ranges - its smaller magnet load provides less output, and therefore does not have the kind of intense impact found in the NP5. This pickup has a smooth dynamic character resonant of classic P models, enabling the 5-string player to acquire a tone that is sightly diminished in power but sacrifices nothing in terms of saturation and presence.
