GuitarPlayerEditors’ Pick
some of the most-respected pickups for high-end basses, Aero Instrument’s creations have remained a well-kept secret among six-stringers over their nearly three-decade run. If the likes of Darryl Jones and Juan Alderete are raving about the Aeros in their basses, you have to imagine they might do something special for guitars, and indeed they do. I first encountered Aero’s guitar pickups while reviewing a Lentz in 2016, and the single-coils on that Strat-like guitar were one of the most versatile and overtly expressive sets I’ve ever played.
