Frequently asked questions
Which is better for metal?
The Slash 2.0 Nickel SE is explicitly designed for Metal with its hotter winding and higher output, while the Raw Nickel explicitly lists Metal as not ideal due to its medium output and vintage-modern voice.
Can I split coils on the Raw Nickel?
The Raw Nickel uses a single conductor braided lead wire, meaning it does not support coil splitting, series/parallel switching, or phase switching—those features are exclusive to the 4-conductor SE model.
What's the output difference?
The Nickel SE has a hotter winding (exact resistance not specified) for aggressive output, while the Raw Nickel specifies medium output at 9.38k ohms bridge and 8.8k ohms neck, making it clearer but less aggressive.
Are these hand-built and wax potted?
Yes, both models are hand-built in Santa Barbara with Alnico II magnets and wax potting for feedback-free operation. Both feature nickel silver bottom plates and maple spacers for focused response.
