The Virtual Vintage 1954 Pro pickup uses the same ground breaking technology as the Area 58 and Area 61 pickups. The 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. And like all of the Virtual Vintage models, it's dead quiet.

The DP408 pickup is recommended for all positions.

Tech Talk: The major difference between the 54 Pro and the Area 61 is in pick attack. The 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. The DP408 pickup is also good in the neck and middle positions to warm up bright-sounding guitars.

Amazing

I just installed one of these in the bridge of a new strat, simply amazing.

My setup is Area 58/58/54 in neck/mid/bridge respectively. This model, the 54, is slightly hotter than the 58 and makes a perfect bridge pickup in my opinion.

I also considered the heavy blues 2 for my bridge position, it is very similar to this model but slightly hotter and heavier on the low end.

These are the only stacked humbuckers I've heard which truly capture the single coil sound (and with no hum!), you would never know they were not true single coils until you take the cover off.

Highly recommended.
