Frequently asked questions
Will these pickups work in my guitar if it's not a Duo-Sonic or Stringmaster?
These pickups are designed specifically for their respective guitar models' bridge positions and dimensions. Using them in other guitars may result in poor fit, wiring complications, or tonal mismatches. Verify your guitar model compatibility before purchasing.
