Frequently asked questions
Are the specs and tone identical between black and white versions?
Yes. Both sets have identical DC resistance (16.09 kΩ bridge, 9.6 kΩ neck), resonant peaks (3.6 kHz bridge, 5 kHz neck), ceramic bar magnets, four-conductor wiring, and the same 4/6/5 EQ curve.
Which is better for metal and high-gain?
Both perform equally well for metal and high-gain due to identical aggressive high-output design, thick low end, and hum-cancelling twin-coil construction suited to noise-free operation at high volumes.
Will either work well for blues?
The black version is marketed for blues alongside rock and metal, while the white version targets metal, hard rock, and progressive—but tonally they are the same set, so blues viability depends on your playing style rather than the color.
Do both include the four-conductor cable for wiring flexibility?
Yes. Both come with four-conductor hookup cables enabling series, parallel, and split-coil wiring options to customize output and tone to your preferences.
