Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together in the same guitar?
Yes. The Green Magic is designed for bridge position and the Slash 2.0 for neck position, so they complement each other well in a two-humbucker setup for balanced blues and rock tones across the fretboard.
What is the difference between 8.7k and 8.8k DCR?
The difference is negligible—both pickups sit in the moderate output range and offer similar responsiveness. The Green Magic's 8.7k emphasizes articulation and dynamic range, while the Slash 2.0's 8.8k pairs with its slightly compressed character for a warmer voice.
Are these pickups suitable for metal or high-gain genres?
The Green Magic handles hard rock and driven tones well due to its moderate output and articulation. The Slash 2.0 is explicitly not ideal for metal or djent genres—its warm, compressed character is designed for blues, rock, and classic rock applications rather than extreme gain.
What makes the Slash 2.0 less 'microphonic' than standard pickups?
Vacuum wax potting fills air gaps in the coil winding, which reduces unwanted feedback and noise when the pickup vibrates. This keeps the signal clean while preserving the natural harmonic resonance that makes the tone musical rather than sterile.
