Frequently asked questions
Are the Ivory and White P60A pickups identical in sound?
Yes. Both have Alnico magnets, 1.80 kHz resonant frequency, –100 dB noise floor, active 9V electronics, 3,000-hour battery life, and close aperture coils. Only the finish color differs.
Does the White version really work better for metal than the Ivory?
No. The specs and tonal characteristics are identical. The marketing descriptions reflect positioning, not actual performance differences. Either will handle high-gain equally well.
Does the White P60A come with a wiring kit and the Ivory does not?
The White description explicitly lists a solderless wiring system with pots and switching; the Ivory description does not detail this. Confirm with the retailer whether both include the full kit, as this could affect total setup cost.
Which is better for a beginner?
Both are accessible due to solderless installation. Choose based on your guitar's color and the genres you play—the tonal outcome is identical either way.
