Frequently asked questions
Which pickup should I choose for my 7-string guitar?
The Wes Hauch Jupiter is specifically designed for 7-string instruments with rail poles that cover the full width of the extended fingerboard. The standard Jupiter is built for 6-string guitars only and will not properly voice a 7-string neck.
Which pickup has higher output?
The standard Jupiter has a lower DCR (14.278k) and higher inductance (6.52H), making it a higher-output design. The Wes Hauch Jupiter's 17.8k DCR provides tighter, more controlled output focused on articulation rather than raw volume.
Are both pickups suitable for metal and djent?
Yes, both excel in metal and djent contexts. The Wes Hauch Jupiter prioritizes articulation and controlled low-end definition across seven strings; the standard Jupiter emphasizes cutting tone and aggressive response on six strings.
Do both pickups support coil-splitting?
Yes, both feature 4-conductor wiring that enables coil-splitting for single-coil tones without modification. Both are passive designs requiring no external power.
