Frequently asked questions
Are the tones identical between these two models?
Yes. Both feature identical Alnico II magnets, gauss ratings (300 bridge / 250 neck), inductance values, and DC resistance. Tone differences would be negligible; shaft length is the only functional difference.
Which one should I buy for a standard Fender or Gibson-style guitar?
The Revelation-F standard model is the correct choice for virtually all production guitars with conventional pickup cavities. The Long Shaft version is only necessary if you have confirmed your guitar requires extended shaft clearance.
Does the Revelation-F kit include everything I need to install?
Yes. The Revelation-F package includes matched potentiometers, stereo output jack, pickup bus, mounting hardware, and all necessary cables for a complete retrofit. The Long Shaft model description does not specify included hardware.
Are these suitable for blues and rock but not metal?
Correct. Both models are optimized for blues, rock, and hard rock with warm, natural breakup character. Their vintage-inflected passive tone and controlled output make them unsuitable for high-gain metal and djent applications.
