Frequently asked questions
Can I use both pickups together in the same guitar?
Yes. The Neck and Bridge are designed to work as a matched pair in 7-string instruments, with the Neck handling clarity and the Bridge providing aggressive output and midrange punch for a complete extended-range voice.
Which pickup is better for clean tones or less-distorted genres?
The Neck pickup's single-coil-like clarity and treble presence make it more versatile for cleaner tones and varied styles. The Bridge is optimized for high-gain heavy music and will sound best with significant distortion.
Do these pickups require active electronics or battery?
Both are active humbuckers but use passive mount housings, meaning they integrate into standard passive-style guitar routing without requiring active circuitry modifications or batteries.
How do the magnet designs differ?
The Neck uses Alnico 5 rod magnets at each pole for balanced clarity. The Bridge uses an Alnico 5 bar magnet with steel pole pieces for higher output and stronger pick attack suited to extended-range rhythm work.
