Yes, it has his tone inside. If your fingers can play, if you practise a lot, you can have his tone so easy. Alder bodies react better with this neck pickup. I test it with a few bodies and in maple body had so much treble.But in Alder, is in the right territory.It can play blues, but it can also be the perfect neck pickup even for melodic death metal. Thomann has Yngwie's books with songs too. Order them together with this pickup. The perfect gift for youself or for someone you love very much.
