Frequently asked questions
Are the electrical specs identical between these two?
Yes. Both feature 12.7k DC resistance, 6.5kHz resonant peak, ceramic magnet construction, and 4-conductor wiring. The tonal character and output are functionally the same.
What's the practical difference between Reverse Zebra and White finishes?
Reverse Zebra has black and cream colored pole piece covers for visual contrast. White is a solid finish. Both are aesthetic choices with no tonal impact.
Does vacuum wax potting affect tone?
No—vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures coil stability under pressure, but does not change the core tonal character. Both pickups share the same fundamental sound profile.
Which is better for high-gain metal?
Both are equally suited to metal, hard rock, and djent. The choice comes down to construction preference (hand-built/potted vs. standard) and finish aesthetics.
