Frequently asked questions
Are the pickups identical between these two assemblies?
Yes. Both use Hot Rails pickups in neck and bridge positions with a JB Jr. middle pickup, all with small ceramic magnets, 4-conductor splittable wiring, and vacuum wax potting for the same high-gain, articulate tone.
Do both fit standard Stratocasters?
Yes. Both are designed for the 11-hole USA Stratocaster pickguard pattern and mount directly into post-1964 Strat bodies.
What is the only functional difference between them?
The only difference is the pickguard finish color: one features a pearloid finish that reflects light, while the other is black. Electronics, potentiometers, and pickup specs are identical.
Can I coil-split either assembly?
Yes. Both pickups on both assemblies feature 4-conductor splittable lead wire, enabling coil-splitting mods for expanded tonal range.
