Frequently asked questions
Can I use both pickups together in the same guitar?
Yes. The Little '78 is a bridge pickup and the Li'l Screamin' Demon is designed for neck or middle position, so they can be installed together for a complete upgraded pickup set.
Which one should I choose for classic rock?
The Little '78 is specifically voiced for blues and classic rock with its balanced Alnico 5 tone and strong midrange. The Li'l Screamin' Demon is voiced more aggressively for modern rock and metal styles.
Do both pickups require routing or modification?
The Little '78 fits standard Strat single-coil cavities without any routing. The Li'l Screamin' Demon is designed for neck or middle positions in Stratocasters and includes mounting hardware; specific routing depends on your guitar's existing configuration.
What's the output difference between these pickups?
The Little '78 has 11.5k ohm resistance for balanced output suited to blues and rock. The Li'l Screamin' Demon has 9.72k ohm resistance but delivers higher perceived output and aggression through ceramic magnet construction and a bright resonant peak, making it better for metal applications.
