Frequently asked questions
Which one should I choose if I'm not sure what wiring my guitar needs?
The Gold offers both single and four-conductor options so you can match your guitar's requirements. The Nickel comes pre-wired with four-conductor, so it only works if your guitar supports that configuration.
Are these pickups different in tone or just in wiring/spacing?
Both use the same Alnico 5 magnets, wood spacers, and vacuum wax-potting for core tone. The descriptions position Gold as modern-articulate-with-warmth and Nickel as vintage-inspired-with-punch, but the fundamental sonic character is similar—tight lows, immediate attack, high output.
Can I do coil-splitting with either pickup?
The Nickel supports coil-splitting via its four-conductor wiring. The Gold supports it only if you choose the four-conductor option at purchase, making that choice necessary upfront.
Which is better for blues?
The Nickel is explicitly recommended for blues and emphasizes vintage-inspired character, making it the better choice. The Gold focuses on hard rock, metal, and rock without blues listed as an ideal application.
