The pickups will still bring out the character of the woods and should sound great with Alder or Swamp Ash. It is our thought that good pickups simply bring out the woody character of the guitar with clarity, warmth and musicality along with power to cut through. If you like the acoustic sound of your guitars, we’re confident that the Aldrich pickups will work great.
