Frequently asked questions
Which pickup should I choose for my guitar type?
The Jupiter 7-String is engineered exclusively for 7-string instruments with pole spacing optimized for the wider neck width. The El Diablo Rail is designed for standard 6-string guitars and requires verification of your bridge cavity fit before purchase.
What's the main tonal difference between ceramic and Alnico magnets here?
The Jupiter's ceramic magnet (17.8k DCR) produces a tighter, more controlled articulate voice with less natural bloom. The El Diablo's Alnico 2 magnets (21.72k DCR) add warmth and musicality while maintaining focus, making them slightly more forgiving in dense mixes.
Does either pickup need special wiring or active electronics?
Both are passive designs requiring no batteries or preamp. Both feature 4-conductor wiring that supports coil-splitting; the Jupiter additionally enables series/parallel and phase switching for deeper tonal exploration.
Which is better for palm muting and rhythm playing?
The Jupiter excels at palm muting across all seven strings with zero dead zones, while the El Diablo's wax potting and higher output make it superior for eliminating feedback during aggressive, sustained rhythm work on a 6-string.
