Frequently asked questions
Can I install the Dave Murray assembly into any guitar?
No. The Dave Murray assembly is a complete pickguard unit designed specifically for standard Ibanez Stratocaster-pattern bodies with an 11-screw USA pickguard pattern. The Lari Basilio set is individual pickups that can be installed into offset and solid-body platforms with standard pickup cavities.
Which set has higher output?
The Dave Murray assembly delivers significantly higher overall output, with bridge Hot Rails at 16.9 kΩ and neck Hot Rails at 10.8 kΩ. The Lari Basilio set features moderate output on neck and middle single-coils, with a high-output bridge Trembucker—designed for balance rather than maximum aggression.
Which is better for lead guitar?
The Dave Murray assembly is voiced specifically for lead work, with aggressive Hot Rails and tight ceramic magnets. The Lari Basilio set balances lead capability (high-output bridge) with rhythm versatility, making it better for hybrid playing that switches between lead and rhythm roles.
Do either offer coil-splitting?
Yes. The Dave Murray assembly includes 4-conductor splittable leads on all three pickups for coil-splitting flexibility. The Lari Basilio set description does not mention coil-splitting capability.
