Frequently asked questions
Are the tonal characteristics different between these two?
No. Both models share identical DC resistance (17.7k bridge, 7.86k neck), Alnico 5 rough cast magnets, four-conductor wiring, and voicing. The only difference is cosmetic finish.
Do I get both pickups or just one?
Both are described as matched pairs designed for bridge and neck positions. Confirm your purchase includes the complete set before ordering.
Which is better for metal and hard rock?
Both excel equally in metal and hard rock due to identical high-output bridge specs and midrange-focused voicing. Choose based on which visual finish suits your guitar better.
Do these work with my guitar's switching system?
Yes. Four-conductor wiring on both models enables series, parallel, or split configurations, so they adapt to most modern and vintage switching setups.
