Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two pickups?
Position and output: the White (SLSD-1n) is a moderate-output neck pickup with 9.72 kΩ resistance, while the Black (SLSD-1b) is a high-output bridge pickup with 13.35 kΩ resistance. The White emphasizes balanced midrange clarity; the Black emphasizes punchy treble and aggression.
Can I use either pickup in any position?
Both are single-coil-sized humbuckers, but the White is designed and voiced for neck/middle position, and the Black is designed for bridge position. Using either in the wrong position will not deliver the intended tonal balance.
Which pickup is better for djent?
The Black (SLSD-1b) is specifically recommended for djent, delivering high output, pronounced midrange, and cutting treble that cuts through dense, heavy riffing. The White's moderate output and softer character suit djent less effectively.
Do both pickups have hum-canceling?
Both are hum-canceling single-coil-sized humbuckers with dual coil construction and wax potting to eliminate feedback and squeal. Both include four-conductor cables for flexible wiring options.
