Frequently asked questions
Are the electronics and tone exactly the same between Ivory and White?
Yes. Both sets use the same PX neck pickup (3.20 KHz resonance, 2.00V string output) and LJX bridge pickup (4.05 KHz resonance, 2.00V string output), the same active VLPF tone control, identical noise floors, and matching potentiometer values. Sound and headroom are identical.
Which genres suit the PJX?
These pickups excel in funk, rock, studio sessions, gigging, and modern jazz. They are not recommended for traditional jazz or folk, where passive pickups and warmer, less articulate tones are typically preferred.
Do I need soldering experience to install either set?
No. Both include a solderless wiring harness with pre-configured potentiometers, battery circuitry, and all necessary cables, making installation accessible to intermediate or advanced players without soldering skills.
What is the key tonal difference between the PX and LJX pickups?
The PX (neck) focuses on warmth and low-end authority with a 3.20 KHz resonance, while the LJX (bridge) delivers mid-range definition and high-end clarity at 4.05 KHz. Together they provide versatile, articulate voicing across the frequency spectrum.
