Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Strat Bridge Parchment Pickup vs Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Strat Bridge White Pickup
Both pickups share identical electrical specs (6.13k DC resistance, Alnico V magnets, passive design) and budget pricing, but differ in cosmetic finish and subtle tonal emphasis. The Parchment suits vintage restoration and warm, transparent tone-chasing, while the White delivers the same core character with slightly brighter treble sparkle for classic rock and funk contexts.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Frequently asked questions
Are the electrical specs identical?
Yes. Both use Alnico V magnets, 6.13k DC resistance, passive design, and period-accurate construction. The difference is aesthetic and micro-tonal emphasis only.
Which is better for vintage Strats?
The Parchment finish is marketed as period-correct and suits restoration projects, though both pickups deliver authentic single-coil response.
Can either handle overdrive or gain?
Both medium-output designs resist excessive compression and maintain note definition under overdrive. Neither is optimized for high-gain metal or djent.
Does finish affect tone?
No. Cosmetic differences (parchment vs. white cover) do not alter electrical performance; any tonal distinction is minimal and due to marketing emphasis rather than engineering difference.
