Frequently asked questions
What is the main tonal difference between ceramic and Alnico VIII magnets in these pickups?
Ceramic magnets in the Reverse Zebra produce aggressive output with strong midrange punch and controlled sustain, ideal for palm-muted attack. Alnico VIII magnets in the White offer a balanced harmonic profile with upper-midrange emphasis and superior string separation for clarity in polyphonic playing.
Which pickup is better for extended-range guitars?
The White is specifically designed for extended-range applications and emphasizes string separation and clarity across complex passages. The Reverse Zebra is voiced more for traditional hard rock and metal with focused rhythm articulation.
Do both pickups support coil-splitting?
Yes, both the Reverse Zebra and White include four-conductor wiring that enables coil-splitting and phase-reversal capabilities without additional hardware modifications.
Are there differences in feedback handling?
The White features shielded 4-conductor wiring specifically designed to reduce microphonic feedback during rapid picking and tapping. The Reverse Zebra uses standard four-conductor wiring with pre-wax potting for consistent performance.
