Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Jupiter on a standard 6-string guitar?
No. The Wes Hauch Jupiter is designed specifically for 7-string instruments. The dual stainless-steel rail poles and magnetic field are engineered for the wider string spacing of extended-range guitars, making it incompatible with standard 6-string cavities.
Which pickup set is better for metal?
The Wes Hauch Jupiter is purpose-built for metal with its 17.80k bridge output, ceramic magnet, and aggressive upper-midrange character. The Saturday Night Special, voiced for blues and rock, is not ideal for thrash metal or djent.
Are both sets made in the USA?
Yes. Both the Saturday Night Special and the Wes Hauch Jupiter are handmade in Santa Barbara, California.
What's the output difference between these sets?
The Saturday Night Special has lower, balanced output (7.90k neck, 9.75k bridge) for dynamic, touch-sensitive response. The Jupiter has significantly higher output (9.22k neck, 17.80k bridge) for aggressive, high-gain applications typical of metal and extended-range playing.
