Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two pickups?
The 6-string neck model has 8.02k DCR and is designed for standard guitars in neck position, while the 7-string bridge model has 17.8k DCR and is designed for extended-range guitars in bridge position. The 7-string also offers series/parallel and phase switching in addition to coil-splitting.
Which pickup is better for metal and djent?
Both are metal-focused, but the Wes Hauch 7-String Bridge is specifically designed for djent and progressive metal styles where the lower strings need tight definition and controlled aggression. The 6-string neck works well for metal but is more versatile across positions.
Do I need both pickups or just one?
You need to choose based on your guitar type: the 6-string neck goes in a standard guitar's neck position, and the 7-string bridge goes in a 7-string guitar's bridge position. They are not interchangeable instruments.
Will these pickups work without active electronics?
Yes, both are passive pickups with no batteries or external power required. They integrate seamlessly into standard guitar wiring schemes.
