Frequently asked questions
Are these pickups electrically identical?
Nearly—both use ceramic magnets, 4-conductor wiring, and wax potting. The Parchment measures 9.4K DC resistance while the White measures 9.8K, a subtle difference that gives the White slightly more output and midrange aggression.
Which is better for metal?
The White model is explicitly positioned for metal and hard rock, with its 9.8K resistance and aggressive midrange tuning. The Parchment is described as not ideal for metal, leaning instead toward studio and blues clarity.
Will the color choice affect tone?
No—the cover color (Parchment or White) is cosmetic only. Tonal differences stem from the slight DC resistance variance and how each is voicing-targeted, not the finish itself.
Do both support coil-splitting?
Yes—both include 4-conductor lead wiring that enables series, parallel, split, and phase-reverse configurations, giving you flexibility regardless of which color you choose.
