Frequently asked questions

Are these pickups tonally different?

No. Both are the SHR-1b model with identical ceramic-magnet construction, high output, focused midrange, and wax potting. The only difference is finish color.

Will either work better for metal or hard rock?

Both are equally suited to metal and hard rock. The high output, tight articulation, and squeal-free design make either version ideal for driven amplifiers and drop tunings.

Can I use coil-splitting or series/parallel wiring with either?

Yes. Both come with 4-conductor hookup cables that provide wiring flexibility for coil-tap or series/parallel configurations beyond standard installations.

Which finish will show dust or wear more noticeably?

White may show dust and finger marks more visibly over time, while parchment is a mid-tone that conceals minor debris better. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect performance.
