Frequently asked questions
Can I mix these two pickups in the same guitar?
Yes. Both are passive single-coils with identical cable specs and construction standards, so they integrate seamlessly. The slight DCR difference (7.05k vs 7.15k) creates natural tonal progression across positions rather than imbalance.
Which is better for funk and clean tones?
Both excel at funk and clean playing. The Neck emphasizes warmth and articulation; the Mid prioritizes transparent midrange cut. Pairing them gives you balanced coverage across positions.
What's the difference in output and tone between 7.05k and 7.15k DCR?
The Mid pickup's 7.15k DCR yields slightly higher output and more pronounced midrange presence, while the Neck's 7.05k DCR maintains a leaner, more transparent response. Both preserve clarity essential to Cory Wong's clean machine aesthetic.
Do these require special wiring or electronics?
No. Both are passive designs with 3-conductor shielded cables that integrate directly into standard guitar wiring without preamps or external power.
