Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference between these two pickups?
The Neck model (6.7K ohms, 3.22H) emphasizes clear highs, articulation, and dynamic response with less midrange thickness. The Bridge model (8.1K ohms, 4.37H) adds natural compression, woody tone, and stronger vintage midrange presence. Each is voiced specifically for its position on the guitar.
Can I use the Bridge pickup in the neck position or vice versa?
Technically yes, but it's not recommended. The Bridge's higher output and inductance will sound darker and more compressed in the neck position, while the Neck's lower output will sound thin and bright at the bridge. Seymour Duncan designed each for its intended position.
Are these pickups suitable for Jazz and Blues?
Yes, both are rated for Jazz, Blues, Indie, and Classic Rock. The Neck excels at articulate, dynamic Jazz lines, while the Bridge's natural compression suits smooth Blues rhythm work. Together they create an excellent vintage platform for both genres.
What instrument types do these fit?
Both are mini-humbuckers with compact form factors designed for Fender offset bodies and other guitars with space constraints. The adjustable pole pieces help compensate for different string heights and magnet proximity across various instrument designs.
