Seymour Duncan STK-S10B WH YJM Fury

Quand on sort le micro de sa boite, on admire la superbe qualité de fabrication de l'engin. Le montage est simple mais il faut être délicats avec les fils à souder car ils sont fins.
Maintenant le son: On gratte un accord en disto et on sent de suite la différence avec le micro d'origine! Il y a beaucoup de sustain. Malgré cela le son reste propre. Son domaine c'est clairement les médiums et les aigus (Donc fans de rythmiques trash sur la corde de mi s'abstenir)
Quand on part sur les solos c'est précis, il y a de l'attaque et de la dynamique !!! Ce micro s'adapte d'ailleurs très bien au parties violoning/écho du maître Yngwie !!
En son clair il n'est pas en reste avec un bon son brillant même si l'on préférera de loin la rondeur du micro manche de la même série.

Au final ce micro se montre très polyvalent et il s'adapte aussi bien à un style rock que heavy. Fan du maestro, c'est un choix que je ne regrette pas !!!

I fitted the Furies to a Swamp Ash Strat I was building and tested it both live and in the studio. Given Malmsteen's playing style, you'd expect these pickups to suit shred, hard-rock and metal players — and indeed they do — but I was impressed by their versatility.

As expected, the Furies are noticeably hotter and more weighty in the mid-range than regular Strat pickups but they don't overwhelm the distinctive Strat tone. Certainly, the warmer mid-range and sweetened highs make them very overdrive?friendly, but they also work well played clean. I found the bridge pickup less brash and more solid?sounding than those on my regular Strats, reminding me somewhat of a P90. Furthermore, the middle pickup, which many players use only in combination with the neck or bridge pickups, delivers a very useful tone in its own right, again combining power with great definition. I was also surprised at the 'in?between' tone gained from combining the middle pickup with either the bridge or neck pickup, as the sound can thin out quite a lot when using single-coil pickups. Here, the familiar 'phasey' tone was underpinned by a healthy lower?mid weight. All three pickups respond well to playing dynamics, allowing you to 'dig in' for more aggression.

Overall, these pickups turned a typical Strat into something very versatile. Using amp and desk EQ, you can get very close to a classic Strat tone, but you can also make the bridge pickup lean towards a P90?equipped SG sound. If you want to cover most of the tonal bases using a single guitar that also has great noise immunity, this set has a lot to offer. A one?trick pony it is definitely not.
