Frequently asked questions
Are these pickups actually different, or just different colors?
They are the same pickup electronically and mechanically—both are STK-S2n Hot Stacks with 13 kOhm resistance, ceramic bar magnets, wax potting, and 4-conductor wiring. The only difference is finish color (black vs. white).
Which is better for drop-tuned metal?
Both are equally suited for metal and drop tunings given their identical specifications. The white version's description specifically mentions drop-tuning compatibility, but the black version's tight low end and ceramic design serve the same purpose.
Will these work in neck and middle positions?
Yes, both are designed for neck and middle positions on Stratocasters. The 13 kOhm resistance is hot enough for lead work yet maintains clarity in non-bridge positions.
Do I need active electronics or batteries?
No, both are passive pickups requiring no battery, active circuitry, or special wiring beyond standard Strat configurations. The 4-conductor wire allows flexible wiring options.
