Frequently asked questions

Are these pickups sonically different?

No. Both use Alnico 5 magnets, identical 5.98k DC resistance, period-accurate winding, and hand-wound construction. The only difference is finish color—Cream versus Parchment.

Which finish matches better with vintage guitars?

Parchment typically ages and yellows over time, mimicking genuine vintage patina. Cream offers a cleaner, brighter classic appearance. Either works; it depends on your aesthetic preference.

Will these work as replacement pickups in my existing Strat?

Yes. Both are designed for standard Stratocaster neck cavities and single-coil routes, with single conductor cloth cables compatible with traditional wiring schemes.

Are these suitable for jazz and overdriven tones?

Yes. Both pickups deliver balanced output with natural compression and clear note separation, making them equally capable in clean, overdriven, and jazz applications.
