Frequently asked questions
What's the main physical difference between these two pickups?
The White uses Trembucker-spacing for 7-string guitars with wider string spacing, while the Zebra is a standard humbucker with 6-string spacing. The Zebra also features black and white coil covers versus the White's solid white cover.
Which has higher output?
The Zebra's bridge output is 9.73k, while the White's series DC resistance is 8.808k ohms. The Zebra is slightly hotter and designed for maximum aggression in high-gain setups.
Can I use the Zebra in a 7-string guitar?
No. The Zebra's standard humbucker spacing is designed for 6-string instruments. The White's Trembucker spacing is necessary to maintain clarity and magnetic coupling across a 7-string's wider string spread.
Are both versatile in wiring options?
Both offer series, split, and parallel configurations. The White specifies multiple DC resistance values for each mode, while the Zebra includes a 4-conductor shielded cable for flexible wiring without losing tonal options.
