Frequently asked questions
Are these pickups actually different in sound?
No. Both sets use identical Nazgul bridge and Sentient neck pickups with the same ceramic and Alnico 5 magnet construction, vacuum wax potting, and nickel silver bottom plates. The only difference is the cosmetic finish.
Which finish holds up better over time?
Raw Nickel is designed to age gracefully and develop patina. Lime Green is a durable finish but won't develop character in the same way. Both use hand-crafted construction for long-term reliability.
Can I use these for styles other than metal?
While optimized for metal, hard rock, and progressive music with their high output and tight low-end response, the 4-conductor wiring on both sets allows coil-taps and series/parallel switching for tonal versatility. However, both manufacturer listings note they are not ideal for jazz, blues, or folk.
Do these pickups require professional installation?
The 4-conductor lead wires enable flexible wiring options including coil-taps and phase switching, which may benefit from professional installation depending on your desired configuration. Basic single-coil or series operation requires standard humbucker wiring knowledge.
