Frequently asked questions
Are the electrical specs and tone identical between Black and Cream?
Yes. Both share 10.8 kΩ DC resistance, 4.8 kHz resonant peak, ceramic bar magnet, four-conductor wiring, and wax potting. Tone and output are functionally identical.
Which one should I buy if I want lead sustain and clarity?
Either one—they are electrically identical. Choose based on which color matches your guitar or personal taste.
Do I need to modify my Strat to install either model?
No. Both use the dual-rail design to fit standard single-coil routes without routing work, making them true drop-in replacements for neck position.
Is one more durable or longer-lasting than the other?
No difference. Both are handmade in Santa Barbara, wax potted for squeal suppression, and built to the same Seymour Duncan quality standards.
