Frequently asked questions
Are the tone and output exactly the same between Black and White?
Yes. Both have 7.2 kΩ DC resistance, 8 kHz resonant peak, identical EQ curves (7/8/4), three ceramic magnets, and over-wound coils. The cover color does not affect sound.
Will either cover color affect magnetic field or sustain?
No. The covers are cosmetic only. Magnetic field control and sustain are determined by the magnet type and coil winding, which are identical on both versions.
Are these neck-position or bridge-position pickups?
Both are neck-position specifications. The SH-8n Invader is designed to sit in the neck position and deliver articulate aggression without excessive harshness in that location.
Can I use either for coil-splitting mods?
Yes. Both include four-conductor wiring that supports coil-splitting and phase-reversal modifications if your guitar's electronics allow it.
