Frequently asked questions
Is there any tonal difference between the white and zebra versions?
No. Both use the same 8.78k DC resistance, Alnico V magnet, 42-gauge wire, and wax potting. The only difference is cosmetic coil appearance.
Which one is better for metal and high-gain?
Both are equally suited. The SH-18b design—regardless of coil color—delivers the thick, compressed midrange and controlled treble needed for metal, hard rock, and drop tunings.
Can I use switching options like coil-split with either pickup?
Yes. Both come with 4-conductor cables that support coil-split, series/parallel, and phase-reverse wiring if your guitar's electronics allow it.
