The Trilogy Suite is a contemporary single coil that Tim at Bare Knuckle Pickups offers. These are for those looking for a strong output pickup in their strats. It features an Alnico V magnet, two conductor wiring and flat pole pieces, but I’m sure you can order it with staggered pole pieces. There are also other options you can choose from such as base plate material and whatnot.
The name was given to it thanks to Yngwie Malmsteen, a leader in neo-classical heavy metal shred. These pickups are a very modern sounding pickup, but they still have some old school overtones going on. The low end on these is huge. I can’t stress that enough. These are super huge sounding, and they’re guaranteed to make anything they’re in absolutely roar. It’s tight enough to where it can handle super fast triplets, but it’s not super narrow like so many other tight pickups. The midrange on this is also very strong. It’s meant to push and amplifier into overdrive easier. Treble has been pushed back so that they don’t get too bitey like so many other singles are known to get.
To me, these are pickups for those looking to play heavy metal with their strats. I find that I like the neck version the best as they sound super round and vowely. The quack sounds are awesome on this pickup, too. Paired with a humbucker, it seems to be a nearly perfect output. It’s not quite as modern and loud sounding as the Sinner, but it’s also not as vintage sounding as the Irish Tour.
I only tried these in alder since that’s what my strat is made out of, but these will probably work in any neutral to bright wood. I bet these would sound absolutely wonderful in both basswood and swamp ash. Mahogany might be a bit too much due to the midrange. If you’re looking for some great shred pickups for your strat, I recommend checking these things out. They should deliver what you’re looking for.
