TESLA: AH1


I tried this active pickup recently; it's the only active unit in the impressive TESLA lineup. The big deal here is its ability to sound very organic in clean mode; we know too well how active units excel when propelling distortion but fall short when a no-frills clean tone is conjured. The neck unit's particularly jazz-friendly voicings should appeal to players who are seeking warm tones for chords.
