Frequently asked questions
Can I use both pickups on the same guitar?
These pickups serve different positions: the TB2B is a bridge pickup for F-spaced guitars, while the STK1N is designed for neck and middle positions. They could theoretically be combined on a three-pickup or two-pickup guitar if your bridge spacing is 2 inches or wider, but they are not typically paired together.
Which pickup is better for jazz and blues?
Neither is ideal for jazz or blues. The TB2B is explicitly not recommended for these genres due to its aggressive character. The STK1N's high treble emphasis and tight midrange also favor modern rock precision over the warm, bluesy tones those genres typically require.
What does Parallel Axis (PA) spacing mean for me?
Parallel Axis means the pole pieces are spaced to match wider bridge configurations (2 inches or wider), eliminating crosstalk between strings and delivering cleaner, more articulate notes across the fretboard compared to standard-spaced pickups.
How do the output levels differ?
The PA-TB2B is high-output, over-wound for aggressive playing styles. The PA-STK1N has controlled output (6.8 kΩ) balanced for articulation and definition rather than raw gain, making it better suited to clean and precision-driven tones.
