Frequently asked questions
Can I use both pickups together in one guitar?
Yes, they fill different positions—the Jason Becker is designed for bridge/trembucker mounting while the High Voltage Neck installs in the neck position, making them complementary rather than competing choices.
Which pickup has higher output?
The High Voltage Neck (7.7k ohms) has higher DC resistance than the Jason Becker Trembucker (13.1k ohms). Higher resistance typically means more output, so the High Voltage actually runs hotter despite being labeled medium output, though both are fairly contemporary in level.
Are both pickups suitable for whammy bars?
Only the Jason Becker Trembucker is optimized for whammy systems—it features trembucker spacing designed for floating bridges. The High Voltage Neck works in standard bridge guitars but is not engineered specifically for whammy-bar demands.
Which genre pairing makes the most sense?
The Jason Becker excels at lead-focused and harmonic-intensive playing across many genres, while the High Voltage Neck is explicitly recommended for metal, hard rock, and progressive music where aggressive midrange punch is valued.
