Frequently asked questions
Are these pickups suitable for extended-range guitars?
Both sets are available in 6-string and 7-string configurations according to their descriptions. The Duality architecture handles dense chords and extended range effectively across both options.
What is the main difference between the two magnet types?
Zebra explicitly specifies Alnico 2 magnets for smooth response and natural compression. Black lists Alnico magnets without specifying the type, though both deliver balanced, warm output.
Which is easier to install?
Zebra includes quick-connect wiring designed for simplified installation and future modifications. Black does not mention quick-connect features, suggesting standard wiring.
Do these work for blues or jazz?
Both are listed as not ideal for traditional jazz and blues. They are optimized for progressive, metal, and hard rock genres requiring modern clarity and controlled dynamics rather than vintage warmth.
