Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between standard humbucker and Trembucker spacing?
Standard humbucker spacing (12mm) suits 6-string guitars with narrower bridge widths. Trembucker spacing widens the pole pieces to align with the wider string spacing found on 7-string and extended-range guitars. Installing the wrong type can result in poor pole-piece alignment and tonal inconsistency.
Which pickup has more bass response?
The Zebra TB is described as having a thick low-end with smooth treble, while the White emphasizes bright midrange and articulate high-end. The Zebra TB delivers more bass authority; the White prioritizes clarity and punch in the mids and highs.
Can I use either pickup on a drop-tuned 6-string guitar?
Yes, the White Noumenon is explicitly designed for drop tunings on standard guitars and will work well. The Zebra TB is also suitable for drop tunings but is spaced for extended-range instruments, so it would be overspecified for a 6-string unless your guitar happens to have Trembucker routing.
Are both pickups hand-assembled in the USA?
Yes, both the White and Zebra TB are hand-assembled in Santa Barbara, California, and share the same high-output, Alnico 8 magnet design and passive humbucker configuration.
