Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference between these two pickups?
The Reverse Zebra prioritizes articulate midrange with controlled output and better note separation, while the standard Zebra emphasizes warm, singing sustain with a more pronounced midrange and vintage character. Both are hand-built Alnico 5 humbuckers, but the Reverse Zebra is voiced slightly brighter and more focused.
Which one is better for rhythm playing?

Are both pickups suitable for hard rock and modern rock?

What's the 4-conductor wiring difference between them?
Both pickups feature 4-conductor wiring that enables series, parallel, and split-coil configurations for tonal versatility. The wiring capability is identical; the difference is purely in the voice and magnet configuration of each model.
