We call the DP407 a neck pickup, but this is our basic workhorse VirtuAL 2 model. It's got everything a great Strat pickup should have: singing highs, bright punchy lows and a sensation of "air" in the sound that lets you know your strings are really vibrating. It's a great neck or middle pickup for any Strat and goes well in the bridge position of warmer-sounding guitars with alder bodies and rosewood fingerboards. Try this in the bridge position with a Virtual Vintage 2.1 (neck) and a Virtual Vintage 2.2 (middle), and you've got a perfectly balanced, noise-free classic set.
