Frequently asked questions
Is there any sonic difference between Reverse Zebra and White finishes?
No. Both feature 8.78k DC resistance, Alnico V bar magnets, and 42-gauge plain-enamel wire, producing identical tone and output. Finish is cosmetic only.
Which genres suit the SH-18b best?
Metal, hard rock, modern rock, and drop-tuned styles benefit most from its aggressive attack and articulate midrange. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk applications.
Can I use either pickup in series/parallel or coil-split configurations?
Yes. Both include four-conductor cable enabling coil-split, series/parallel switching, and phase options if your guitar's electronics support these wiring modes.
Are both hand-built and wax-potted?
Yes. Both are hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, and wax-potted to eliminate microphonic feedback and squealing at high volumes.
