Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Strat Bridge Cream Pickup vs Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Strat Bridge Parchment Pickup

Choose Cream for blues and funk players wanting pronounced bass and treble separation; choose Parchment for those seeking classic, vintage-correct Strat response that cuts clearly in a mix.
