Frequently asked questions
Is there any tonal difference between the White and Zebra versions?
No. Both use identical Alnico 5 bar magnets, nickel silver baseplates, and vacuum wax potting. The only difference is the coil cover color—white versus black-and-cream striping. Output, brightness, and response are functionally the same.
What is the actual output rating for these pickups?
The White is rated at 16.60 ohms DCR, while the Zebra is approximately 15k ohms. This minor variance is negligible in practical use; both deliver high output suitable for metal and high-gain applications.
Can I use either pickup in multiple wiring configurations?
Yes. Both include 4-conductor shielded lead wires that support series, parallel, and split-coil configurations, giving you tonal flexibility within a single instrument.
Are these pickups suitable for genres other than metal?
Both excel in rock, hard rock, and fusion but are not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk due to their aggressive character and high output. They are designed specifically for high-gain, driven contexts.
