Frequently asked questions
Can I use either pickup set in any guitar?
No. The P90 Silencer fits standard P90 soapbar cavities only. The Jazzmaster Silencer is designed specifically for Jazzmaster offset guitar routes. Verify your guitar's cavity shape before purchasing.
Which set is better for recording?
Both excel in recording due to their noiseless design. The P90 Silencer suits rock and high-output genres; the Jazzmaster Silencer suits jazz, surf, and indie recordings where vintage transparency is valued.
What is the output difference between these sets?
The P90 Silencer is hot-output rated at 9.74–11.76 kΩ across neck and bridge. The Jazzmaster Silencer is vintage-specification output designed for balanced, moderate punch rather than aggressive coloration.
Are both noiseless in live environments?
Yes. Both use Seymour Duncan's hum-elimination technology. The P90 uses ceramic magnets with a paired design; the Jazzmaster uses a triple-coil system with two dedicated hum-elimination coils.
