Originally only available as a built-in system on Suhr's Classic guitars, Suhr's new BPSSC (BackPlate Silent Single Coil) system is a revolutionary approach to hum-canceling for Stratocasters. Rather than using a reverse-wound reverse-polarity (RWRP) middle pickup that only yields hum-canceling in positions 2 and 4, the BPSSC utilizes an unconventional backplate that replaces your existing one. This backplate, used in conjunction with three single-coils wound with the same polarity (no RWRP middle) yields hum-canceling in all five switch positions with no negative tonal consequences. The circuit is passive, there are no batteries. The tiny circuit board (postage stamp size) goes inside the control cavity with the rest of the electronics, the backplate is screwed on, a couple of connections are made, and you're done. Easy as pie!
The BPSSC System eliminates the noise while completely retaining the sonic character of true single-coil pickups, while retaining the sparkle, chime, and the low-end response that you've come to love in single-coil pickups. Easy to install and no additional modifications to your guitar needed. Remove the current backplate on your guitar, solder the wires coming out of the BPSSC to the electronics in your guitar following the included instructions, screw the BPSSC on the back of your guitar, and you're ready for great, true single-coil tone without the noise!
Acme's Experience
We were skeptical of this system, it seemed a little too good to be true. Manufacturers have been chasing the idea of "single-coil tone, no hum" for a while now, and we have always felt there was a tonal compromise involved. But having installed this system and played with it, at stage volumes, and with four experienced players listening intently, we have to tell you that we're completely convinced. It's an awesome system!
Available in 3-ply white, 1-ply parchment, and 1-ply black (tortoise has been discontinued). Make your selection at checkout!
