Which has hotter output?
The Slug Rail Humbucker at 48k DCR is significantly hotter than the Jupiter's bridge pickup at 17.80k DCR. The Jupiter prioritizes balanced articulation across seven strings rather than maximum output.
Can I split the coils on either pickup?
The Slug Rail Humbucker includes four-conductor wiring for coil-splitting options. The Jupiter specifications do not mention coil-splitting capability.
