Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together as a matched pair?
Yes. The Neck (7.90k) and Bridge (9.75k) are voiced to complement each other—the Neck provides clarity and warmth while the Bridge adds punch and definition. Together they create balanced output across the fingerboard.
Which is better for jazz and clean tones?
The Neck pickup excels in jazz and studio sessions due to its lower output, smooth midrange, and responsive dynamics that reward subtle playing nuances. The Bridge is more suited to rock and blues where cutting attack matters.
Are both pickups made to the same quality standard?
Yes. Both feature Alnico 4 magnets, four-conductor wiring, maple spacers, short mounting legs, and are precision-manufactured in Santa Barbara, California. They differ only in output level and position-specific voicing.
Can I do coil-splitting with either pickup?
Both pickups include four-conductor wiring for coil-splitting and series/parallel configurations in compatible switching schemes, so yes—either will work with a properly wired guitar.
