Frequently asked questions
Can I use both of these pickups together in the same guitar?
Yes—the Neck and Bridge are complementary pieces of the same Green Magic line. The Neck's moderate warmth and the Bridge's bright aggression work together to create a balanced, versatile guitar across a wide gain range.
What is the main tonal difference between them?
The Neck offers smooth, warm articulation with natural separation suited to lower-gain tones; the Bridge uses a reversed magnet design to produce brighter, treble-forward response with punchy attack optimized for high-gain applications.
Are these pickups good for metal and hard rock?
The Bridge model is specifically engineered for metal and hard rock with its bright treble and high output; the Neck is not ideal for these genres and better suits blues, jazz, and progressive styles.
Do both pickups offer wiring flexibility?
The Neck includes 4-conductor wiring for coil-splitting and series/parallel options. The Bridge description does not specify conductor configuration, suggesting it may be standard dual-coil wiring without these splitting options.
