Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together as a set?
Yes. The APH-2n is voiced for the neck position and the APH-2b for the bridge position, so they are designed to complement each other in a guitar.
What is the difference in output, and how does it affect tone?
The APH-2b has higher DC resistance (9.38K vs 7.92K), making it slightly hotter and naturally compressed, while the APH-2n is cleaner and more articulate. The bridge pickup's extra output helps it cut through mix without sounding thin.
Are both pickups suitable for blues and classic rock?
Yes, both are voiced for warm, articulate tone and work well in blues and classic rock. The APH-2n offers smoother treble, while the APH-2b provides slightly more sustain and aggression.
What does the 4-conductor configuration on the APH-2b do?
The 4-conductor lead wire allows you to wire the pickup for split-coil functionality, giving you more tone-shaping options compared to the APH-2n's single-conductor design.
