Frequently asked questions
Which pickup is better for blues lead work?
Both suit blues, but they serve different guitars. The STK-T3B excels in Tele bridge position with its 7.5 kHz peak and natural breakup at moderate volumes. The SLS-1-RwRp is designed for Strat middle position and prioritizes hum-free clarity. Choose based on your guitar, not tone preference alone.
Can I use the SLS-1-RwRp in positions other than middle?
The SLS-1-RwRp is specifically designed for Strat middle position with RWRP configuration for hum cancellation paired with standard pickups. Using it in bridge or neck position would eliminate the hum-canceling benefit and alter intended voicing.
What is the output difference between these pickups?
The STK-T3B operates at 9k ohms in split mode and 18k ohms in full mode. The SLS-1-RwRp is a passive single-coil with lower output typical of vintage lipstick tube designs, focused on clarity rather than driven output.
Do both pickups reduce feedback and noise?
Yes. The STK-T3B uses wax potting to eliminate microphonic feedback. The SLS-1-RwRp uses feedback-reducing vacuum wax potting plus RWRP configuration for natural hum cancellation when paired with standard single-coils in other positions.
