Frequently asked questions
Are these pickups electrically identical?
Yes. Both use Alnico V magnets, 6.37k DCR, underwound 50s-style design, and elevated pole height, producing the same scooped-mid tonal character. The difference is cosmetic (black vs. cream) and cable configuration (single vs. dual conductor).
Which cable configuration is better for my wiring?
The single-conductor (Black) is simpler for standard three-pickup hum-canceling setups. The dual-conductor (Cream) provides extra flexibility if you need to split signals or wire custom configurations, though standard Strat wiring works fine with either.
Do these work for blues and rock equally well?
Yes. Both are listed as suitable for blues, rock, country, and funk. The scooped mid character cuts through mixes and works well for clean leads and driven rhythm tones across those genres.
Will the RWRP configuration eliminate hum in my guitar?
Yes, when paired with standard-polarity neck and bridge pickups. The reverse wind/reverse polarity design cancels 60Hz hum without requiring guitar modifications.
