Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Neck pickup in a bridge position or vice versa?
While both share the same Alnico 2 magnet and similar EQ voicing, they are engineered for their respective positions. The Bridge has higher DC resistance (8.4 kΩ) for more output, while the Neck sits at 7.85 kΩ for balanced response. Using them in opposite positions may not deliver the intended tonal character.
Which pickup is better for jazz and blues?
The APH-1n Neck is specifically designed for blues and jazz with its scooped low-end and articulate midrange. The Bridge model is marketed for rock and metal where cutting through the mix takes priority over traditional jazz warmth.
Are these pickups suitable for studio work?
Yes, both are hand-built, wax-potted, and recommended for studio sessions. The Neck offers more versatility across genres, while the Bridge excels in high-gain and rock recording scenarios.
What is the practical difference in output between them?
The Bridge pickup's 8.4 kΩ resistance versus the Neck's 7.85 kΩ means slightly hotter output from the Bridge, making it more suitable for driving amplifiers in aggressive contexts while the Neck remains balanced and responsive to dynamics.
