Frequently asked questions

Are the pickups identical between these two assemblies?

Yes. Both feature Hot Rails in neck and bridge positions with JB Jr. middle pickup, 4-conductor splittable lead wire, small ceramic magnets, and vacuum wax potting for coil-splitting capability and feedback resistance.

Will either of these fit my Stratocaster?

Both are designed for post-1964 Stratocasters with standard 11-hole USA pickguard pattern, making them direct drop-in replacements for compatible bodies.

What's the tonal difference between these two?

There is no tonal difference. The only distinction is the pickguard finish (pearloid versus black); the electronics, hand-assembly, and pickup specifications are identical, so tone and performance are the same.

Can I split coils on these pickups?

Yes. Both assemblies feature 4-conductor splittable lead wire on all three pickups, enabling coil-splitting modifications for expanded tonal options beyond the standard configuration.
