Frequently asked questions

Are the pickups identical between the two?

Yes. Both assemblies use the same Neck Hot Rails (10.8 kΩ), Bridge Hot Rails (16.9 kΩ), and JB Jr. middle pickup (9.6 kΩ) with ceramic magnets and vacuum wax potting.

Will either one fit my Stratocaster?

Both use the 11-screw USA pickguard pattern and fit any standard Stratocaster-pattern body built after 1964 without modification.

What tonal character should I expect?

Tight, aggressive lead tones from the Hot Rails, with smooth articulate midrange from the JB Jr.—suitable for metal, classic rock, and high-gain applications. Coil-splitting on all pickups adds versatility.

Is one more durable than the other?

No. Both are hand-built in Santa Barbara with identical Bourns potentiometers, 5-way switches, and wax potting for reliable long-term performance.
