Frequently asked questions
Are the electrical specs identical?
Yes. Both use Alnico II magnets, measure 9.38kΩ DC resistance, include nickel silver bottom plates, maple spacers, and wax potting. The only electrical difference is the Black has 4-conductor wiring versus the Reverse Zebra's single-conductor cable.
Which one is easier to install?
The Reverse Zebra is simpler—single-conductor cable requires fewer decisions. The Black requires understanding 4-conductor routing if you want to use coil-splitting or phase reversal, though standard humbucker installation works the same on both.
Can I do coil-splitting with the Reverse Zebra?
No. The Reverse Zebra's single-conductor wiring does not support coil-splitting or series/parallel switching. Only the Black model's 4-conductor design enables those options.
Which is better for metal?
Both excel in metal. The Reverse Zebra emphasizes aggressive high-end, while the Black offers flexibility to dial in tone via switching. Choice depends on whether you want fixed aggression or tonal adaptability.
