Frequently asked questions
Are the tonal and output specs actually the same between StarGazer and Toxic Yellow?
Yes. Both sets use a 13.6k ohms Nazgul bridge with ceramic magnet and a 7.75k ohms Sentient neck with Alnico 5 bar magnet. Vacuum wax potting, 4-conductor wiring, and humbucker configuration are identical across both versions.
Which is better for tight palm-muted metal rhythms?
Both perform identically for metal and djent. The Nazgul bridge in each set is engineered specifically for controlled articulation and sustained palm muting, regardless of finish color.
Does the Toxic Yellow's nickel silver bottom plate make a sonic difference?
The Toxic Yellow description mentions a nickel silver bottom plate for clarity and sustain, while the StarGazer description does not. If this component is present only in Toxic Yellow, it may offer marginally enhanced sustain, though both sets are designed for extended sustain characteristics.
Can I use split-coil or series/parallel wiring with either set?
Yes. Both sets include 4-conductor lead wires that support series, parallel, and split-coil configurations, allowing full flexibility in switching and tone shaping.
