Frequently asked questions
Are these pickups electrically identical?
Yes. Both feature 23.72k Ω DC resistance, stacked-coil design, A5 chamfered rod magnets, four-conductor wiring, and are hand-built in Santa Barbara. The difference is tonal positioning and intended genre application, not specs.
Which is better for high-gain and distortion?
Both handle high-gain equally well due to identical output. The White version is marketed more aggressively for metal and hard rock, while the OW emphasizes responsiveness at cleaner settings.
Do these require routing or modification?
No. Both use stacked-coil design to fit standard single-coil Strat bridge cavities without any modification.
Does color affect tone?
No. The OW and White designations refer to finish only; tone and electrical performance are identical between them.
