Frequently asked questions
Are the Black and White covers electrically different?
No. Both sets share identical Alnico V magnets, DC resistance values (9.62 kΩ neck/mid, 10.36 kΩ bridge), resonant peaks (5.7 kHz neck/mid, 5.2 kHz bridge), and EQ curve (5/4/8 Bass/Mid/Treble). The only difference is cosmetic cover color.
Which is better for blues and vintage rock?
Both are equally suited to blues, classic rock, and indie. The white version's description emphasizes vintage pop compatibility, while the black version lists country and indie, but the pickups themselves are tonally identical with the same warm low end, punchy mids, and articulate highs.
Do these pickups need shielding or modification to install?
No. Each pickup measures 0.995 inches in height and fits standard Strat cavities without modification. Both include three-conductor cabling for true single-coil splitting.
Why would I choose one cover color over the other?
Cover color is purely aesthetic. Black covers integrate with modern or dark guitar finishes, while white covers complement vintage or light-colored instruments. Tone and performance are identical.
