Frequently asked questions
Can I use both pickups together in the same guitar?
Yes. The Neck Silencer (9.74K) and Bridge Silencer (10.23K) are designed to work as a matched pair in standard soapbar-routed guitars, with the slight output difference creating natural tonal balance between positions.
Which is better for beginners?
The Bridge Silencer explicitly supports beginner skill levels and emphasizes straightforward installation. The Neck Silencer targets intermediate-to-professional players but is equally easy to install—the skill designation reflects its voicing philosophy rather than complexity.
Do both eliminate 60-cycle hum completely?
Yes. Both use the same proprietary three-coil noiseless architecture with dual outrigger coils to eliminate 60-cycle hum without tone coloration. The difference is tonal character, not noise performance.
Will these work in my existing P90 guitar without modification?
Yes. Both are drop-in replacements for standard P90 soapbar routes and include 2-conductor shielded cables for clean integration into existing wiring harnesses.
