Frequently asked questions
Are the electrical specs and tone exactly the same between these two?
Yes. Both versions use identical Alnico II magnets, 13.5K/13.8K DC resistance, 300/250 Gauss output, and resonant frequencies. The only difference is the finish on the stainless steel covers—polished versus brushed.
Does the brushed chrome version come with more included items?
According to the product descriptions, the Brushed Chrome version explicitly mentions including dual 500k pots, stereo output jack, mounting hardware, and cables for complete installation. The Chrome version does not specify these extras.
Which finish is easier to maintain?
Brushed chrome hides fingerprints and dust better due to its matte texture, while polished chrome requires more frequent cleaning to maintain its high-gloss appearance.
Will either finish affect shielding or noise performance?
No. Both use stainless steel construction for shielding. The finish—polished or brushed—is purely cosmetic and does not impact electrical performance or noise floor.
