At Sweetwater, we’ve been blown away by these Alnico IV–loaded pickups. They enable the Deluxe Brighton to achieve just about every tone a guitarist could want. This guitar’s deep cutaways make accessing the upper frets effortless, while the 14-inch-radius ebony fingerboard that tops its set 3-piece neck ensures fleet-fingered playability.
