Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between Trembucker and standard humbucker spacing?
Trembucker spacing has wider pole-piece separation to align with wide-spaced bridge pickups found on many modern guitars. Standard humbucker spacing is narrower. The Green Magic TB requires a Trembucker-equipped guitar; the High Voltage Neck fits standard humbucker cavities.
Which pickup has higher output, and what does that mean?
The High Voltage Neck has 7.7k DC resistance, producing higher output ideal for overdriven and high-gain applications. The Green Magic TB prioritizes articulation and warm tone over raw output, suiting cleaner to moderately driven tones.
Can I use these pickups interchangeably in my guitar?
No. The Green Magic TB requires Trembucker pole spacing and is designed as a bridge pickup (with flipped neck magnet for phasing). The High Voltage Neck is a standard humbucker sized for neck position. Check your guitar's bridge spacing and cavity dimensions first.
Which is better for studio recording?
The Green Magic TB excels in studio with its balanced harmonic content, vintage voicing, and 4-conductor flexibility for creative wiring options. The High Voltage Neck works better in studio for heavy, high-gain tracking where tight lows and articulate highs cut through dense mixes.
