Frequently asked questions
What's the main physical difference between these two pickups?
The LP Triple Shot features arched mounting rings designed for Les Paul guitar cavities, while the Flat Triple Shot uses flat rings engineered for super-Strat body styles. This determines which guitar body style each set will fit correctly.
How do the switching systems differ?
The LP Triple Shot uses a single 3-way toggle switch to access all 24 combinations, while the Flat Triple Shot requires two switches. The single-switch design on the LP version is simpler but the two-switch flat design may offer more intuitive control for some players.
Are the tonal characteristics the same between both versions?
Both versions provide identical core tones—humbucking warmth, P-90 grit, and single-coil rails brightness—with the same DC resistance values and RWRP neck configuration. The difference is application: the LP version emphasizes rock and blues, while the Flat version targets broader studio and professional gigging use.
Which version should I choose for metal or high-output genres?
Neither version is ideal for metal or djent styles; both are positioned for rock, blues, studio work, and general-purpose playing. If you need metal-focused pickups, consult other Seymour Duncan models specifically designed for that purpose.
