Frequently asked questions
Is there any tonal difference between the White and Zebra finishes?
No. Both feature the same TB-16 59/Custom Hybrid specs, including Alnico V bar magnet, hybrid coil design, vacuum wax potting, and 11.5 kΩ DC impedance. Finish is purely cosmetic.
Which finish matches typical guitar hardware better?
White works with chrome, nickel, or modern hardware. Zebra (black/cream) offers vintage appeal with aged hardware or bold contrast with modern setups. Choice depends on your guitar's aesthetic.
Are these pickups suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The moderate output, articulate midrange, and controlled treble (6/6/8 EQ) handle high-gain contexts well while maintaining clarity and note separation without feedback.
Can I rewire these for split-coil or parallel modes?
Yes. Both include four-conductor cables enabling series, parallel, or split-coil wiring configurations for flexible control options.
