Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together?
Yes. The SJM-3N features RWRP (reverse wound/reverse polarity) specifically designed to pair with the SJM-3B bridge pickup, creating a humbucking effect that cancels hum automatically without additional switches or modifications.
What is the key tonal difference between these two?
The SJM-3N emphasizes a focused midrange peak at 5.2 kHz for articulate, warm clarity suited to indie and alternative music. The SJM-3B delivers full-frequency response with slamming output optimized for blues, rock, and metal genres where sustain and drive matter more than midrange definition.
Which pickup is hotter in output?
The SJM-3B bridge pickup is designed as 'high output' for slamming drive and leading work. The SJM-3N neck pickup at 11.85k DC resistance is warm and thick but not specifically branded as high-output, making the bridge model the more aggressive choice.
Are these true single-coil pickups?
The SJM-3B is explicitly described as a high-output true single-coil. The SJM-3N is a custom overwound single-coil design with RWRP configuration that pairs with a standard bridge pickup to eliminate hum, but is not itself a humbucker.
