Frequently asked questions
What's the output difference between these two?
The Raw Nickel model is specified at 9.62k ohms DCR, indicating substantial output for high-gain applications. The SE Nickel version does not list a specific DCR measurement, suggesting a slightly lower or vintage-aligned output level focused on articulation rather than raw power.
Which is better for metal and lead work?
The Raw Nickel model is specifically designed for high-gain applications and lead work, with aggressive midrange punch and controlled treble. The SE Nickel prioritizes vintage character and tight lows, making it better suited to classic or hard rock rather than modern metal.
Are the construction differences significant?
Both use hand-built construction, Alnico 5 magnets, 4-conductor wiring, and wax potting. The SE uses traditional wood spacers for vintage authenticity, while the Raw Nickel uses maple spacers with nickel silver bottom plates for enhanced structural definition and shielding.
Can I split the coils on either pickup?
Yes, both models feature 4-conductor wiring that enables coil splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase switching for tonal flexibility without requiring a pickup swap.
