The BTR, is a pickup set we designed in conjunction with YouTuber ArnoldPlaysGuitar. He wanted to capture a particular strat sound that was eluding him, a sound he had fallen in love with from many awesome European metal records conveying a fat, raw, and aggressive tone with a bit of beef, but still with that stratty clank that we all love. The BTR is a strat sound that isn't "nice" and isn't meant to be nice. In high-gain applications, the bridge pickup has a roughness to it that oozes classic metal mojo when palm-muting and power-chording while still offering a bit of chime to full strummed open chords. The neck pickup is total high output Strat neck tone perfected, with a strong, airy articulation that is only tempered by its low-mid warmth. It's perfect for those fluid sweeps and speed-picked shred runs. The reverse-wound middle pickup offers the best of both worlds with a bit of fullness in position 4, and a bit more brightness in position 2, allowing you to kick back the volume knob a bit and dish out some tasty blues or fusion should the need arise. Make no mistake though...the BTR is made as a means of unleashing the fury. So kick up the gain and let it rip!
