Frequently asked questions
What is the actual output difference between these pickups?
The Zebra model has 13.1k ohms DC resistance versus the White model's 12.11k ohms—roughly 900 ohms higher, which translates to noticeably more output and presence. Both are medium-output designs, but Zebra sits at the stronger end of that range.
Which is better for whammy bar guitars?
The Zebra model is explicitly designed for floating and whammy bridge systems and emphasizes sustain and presence in demanding configurations. The White model is described as responsive to dynamics but doesn't specifically target whammy systems.
Can I use either pickup in both high-gain and clean tones?
Yes—both feature Alnico V magnets and medium output suitable for multiple gain levels. The White model is highlighted as excelling across both high-gain and clean applications, while the Zebra focuses more on lead-oriented, aggressive tones.
Are the wiring and installation options different?
Both have 4-conductor leads enabling series, parallel, and split configurations. The Zebra specifically mentions shielded wiring for superior noise rejection in high-gain environments. Both drop in as replacements in trembucker-spaced cavities.
