Frequently asked questions
What's the main electrical difference between these two pickups?
The Neck model has 7.70K DC resistance, while the Bridge has 8.52K resistance and 5.12 henries inductance, giving the Bridge noticeably higher output and more focused midrange response suited to bridge-position demands.
Can I use the Bridge pickup in the neck position?
Technically yes, but it's not recommended. The higher output and focused midrange were voiced specifically for bridge use; in the neck position it would sound overly thick and less touch-sensitive than a neck-voiced pickup.
Are these pickups good for blues and classic rock?
Yes, both are marketed for blues and classic rock. The Neck excels in rhythm and cleaner styles; the Bridge delivers the articulate punch needed for bridge-position leads and riffs with characteristic vintage character.
Do these pickups require any special installation?
Both use standard humbucker mounting with nickel silver bottom plates and long mounting legs. They install identically to any humbucker and include single conductor push-back braided lead wire for reliable shielding.
