Frequently asked questions
Will the 6-string Jupiter work on a 7-string guitar?
Physically it may fit, but the magnetic field distribution is optimized for six-string spacing. The 7-string Wes Hauch model ensures even response across all seven strings due to its rail design specifically calculated for wider fretboard geometry.
What's the main tonal difference between 9.22k and 8.02k DCR?
The lower 8.02k DCR in the standard Jupiter produces more pronounced midrange punch and articulation, while the higher 9.22k in the Wes Hauch version emphasizes tighter low-end control suited to drop tunings on extended-range instruments.
Does the Wes Hauch version have coil-splitting like the standard Jupiter?
The product descriptions provided do not specify coil-splitting capability for the Wes Hauch Jupiter. The standard Jupiter explicitly includes 4-conductor shielded cable for coil-splitting flexibility.
Are both pickups suitable for drop tunings and metal?
Yes, both are designed for metal, drop tunings, and high-gain applications. The primary consideration is string count: the Wes Hauch for 7-string guitars, the standard Jupiter for 6-string guitars.
