Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Jupiter in a standard 6-string guitar?
No. The Jupiter is designed with dual stainless-steel rail poles configured specifically for 7-string spacing. It will not fit or function properly in a standard 6-string guitar bridge cavity.
Which pickup is better for clean tones?
The Slug is more suited to clean and moderate-gain tones due to its balanced, moderate output and focused magnetic field. The Jupiter is voiced aggressively for high-gain applications and metal.
Do both pickups support coil-splitting?
Yes. Both the Jupiter and Slug include 4-conductor wiring with shield, enabling coil-split, series/parallel, and phase switching without additional rewiring.
What is the main tone difference?
The Jupiter delivers punchy, controlled aggression with tight low-end suited to extended-range drop tunings. The Slug offers articulate, balanced clarity with precision dynamics ideal for standard tuning neck-position work.
