Frequently asked questions
Are the electrical specs identical between White and Ivory?
Yes. Both deliver 3.00 V string output, 4.50 V strum output, -101 dBV noise floor, 2.20 kHz resonant frequency, and 3000-hour battery life. No measurable difference in tone or performance.
Which finish works better for metal or high-gain applications?
Both are equally suitable for high-gain work. The White model explicitly lists Metal and Hard Rock as best uses; the Ivory lists Metal as a fit. Finish color does not affect tone.
Will either pickup require soldering during installation?
No. Both use the long shaft design for standard potentiometer compatibility and require no soldering—installation is straightforward wiring only.
What's the actual difference between these two listings?
Color only. The Ivory description emphasizes jazz compatibility and balanced character, while the White emphasizes high-gain clarity and warm undertones, but the pickup itself is identical in all technical respects.
