Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together in one guitar?
Yes—the Green Magic is a bridge model and the Slash 2.0 is a neck model, so they're designed for different positions. They have similar output (8.7k vs 8.8k DCR) and both use Alnico II magnets, making them tonal partners.
Which is better for clean tones?
The Green Magic excels at clean articulation with high note definition. The Slash 2.0 is also clean-capable but voiced slightly warmer and more compressed, which suits lead sustain over transparent clarity.
Are these suitable for jazz and blues?
The Green Magic is explicitly rated for both jazz and blues with vintage character and articulate response. The Slash 2.0 is not recommended for jazz but handles blues well, especially in a neck position for lead work.
What's the output difference?
Both are vintage output level (8.7k and 8.8k DCR respectively), so they're nearly identical in gain. The tonal difference comes from magnet type refinement and position-specific voicing, not raw output.
