Frequently asked questions
Is there any tonal difference between Black and Zebra versions?
No. Both share identical DC resistance (12.11k), Alnico 5 magnets, vacuum wax potting, and 4-conductor wiring. The only difference is cosmetic—bobbins color (all-black versus black-and-white striped). Performance and tone are functionally equivalent.
Which is better for high-gain applications?
Both are described as capable in high-gain contexts. The Black is marketed as 'high-output' for aggressive lead work; the Zebra is called 'hotter-than-vintage 12K' with medium output. Given identical specs, either suits high-gain equally well.
Do both support coil-splitting and series/parallel switching?
Yes. Both feature 4-conductor lead wiring that enables flexible coil-splitting and series/parallel switching options for tonal versatility.
What spacing options are available?
Both the Black and Zebra versions are available in standard humbucker spacing and Trembucker spacing, making installation compatible with most modern and vintage guitar designs.
