Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini Humbucker Black Pickup vs Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini Humbucker Reverse Zebra Pickup
Both are identical high-output bridge humbuckers with the same electrical specs (17.6K ohms, 8.83H inductance, 4.40kHz peak), engineered for metal and hard rock. The key difference is wiring: the Black model has single-conductor wiring for straightforward installation, while the Reverse Zebra has 4-conductor wiring for coil-tapping and switching flexibility.

Frequently asked questions
Are the electrical specs and tone exactly the same?
Yes. Both have identical DC resistance (17.6K ohms), inductance (8.83H), resonant peak (4.40kHz), Alnico 2 magnets, and high-output character. The sole technical difference is wiring configuration.
What does 4-conductor wiring do for me?
4-conductor wiring allows coil-tapping, series/parallel switching, and other wiring options through an appropriately configured switch, giving you tonal variety from one pickup. Single-conductor wiring does not support these options.
Which suits drop tunings and standard tuning equally?
Both are equally suited to drop tunings and standard tuning. The Reverse Zebra description specifically mentions this versatility, but the identical specs mean the Black model performs identically across tuning variations.
Is installation difficulty different between them?
The Black model is simpler to install due to single-conductor wiring. The Reverse Zebra requires more routing work if your guitar doesn't already support 4-conductor switching, though the pickup itself is equally reliable.
