Frequently asked questions
Can I use both together as a set?
Yes—these pickups are designed as complementary neck and bridge pieces for 7-string guitars. The Neck's balanced output and articulate midrange pair seamlessly with the Bridge's aggressive sustain and output, creating a cohesive extended-range system.
What's the main tonal difference between them?
The Neck prioritizes tight lows and articulate midrange (8 kHz peak) for definition across all registers, while the Bridge pushes aggressive output and sustain (5 kHz peak, ceramic magnet) for powerful riff tone. Neck suits lead clarity; Bridge suits rhythm aggression.
Are these suitable for drop tunings and 7-string metal?
Both are purpose-built for 7-string metal and drop tunings with vacuum wax potting and extended-range voicing. The Neck excels at maintaining low-string clarity; the Bridge delivers the punch and sustain modern metal demands.
What's the DC resistance difference and why does it matter?
The Bridge's 16.8 kΩ resistance is more than double the Neck's 7.2 kΩ, resulting in significantly higher output and more aggressive tone. Higher resistance suits bridge pickup demands for sustain; lower resistance keeps neck position balanced and articulate.
