Frequently asked questions
Are the tonal characteristics actually different between these two?
No. Both feature the same 57 bridge (2.11 kHz resonance, 3V single-note output) and 66 neck (1.61 kHz, matching output), identical Alnico V magnets, 10K DC resistance, and active electronics. The only difference is the finish.
Do both sets come with the solderless wiring harness and battery?
Yes. Both include solderless connectivity, push-pull potentiometers, included wiring harness, and operate on a single 9V battery with 1500-hour runtime and 160 microamp current draw.
Which finish is more durable or requires more maintenance?
Neither has documented durability differences. Brushed chrome resists showing fingerprints slightly better; polished chrome shows more dust and requires occasional polishing. Both are protective finishes on passive hardware.
Will one finish clash with my guitar's existing hardware?
Compare your guitar's tuners, bridge, and other hardware finish. Brushed Chrome pairs with matte or satin finishes; Chrome pairs with polished or bright hardware. Measure existing hardware in natural light to decide.
