Frequently asked questions
Are the magnets and output the same between these two?
Yes, both use 9.38k DC resistance Alnico II magnets and deliver identical hot-humbucker output. The difference is in tonal emphasis and available wiring flexibility rather than raw specifications.
What is the practical difference between Black Nickel and Gold finish?
The finishes are purely cosmetic and do not affect tone or performance. Choose based on your guitar's aesthetic and hardware color.
Do I need the 4-conductor version for coil splitting?
Yes, coil splitting, series/parallel switching, and phase reversal require the 4-conductor wiring on the Gold version. The Black Nickel description does not mention these capabilities, suggesting it may have standard wiring.
Which is better for metal and hard rock?
Both excel in metal and hard rock. The Black Nickel emphasizes tight lows and woody warmth; the Gold emphasizes punchy mids and harmonic detail. Your amp and playing style will matter more than which you choose.
