Key Features & Tonal Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q: Will these fit my Epiphone Les Paul or SG?
  A: Yes, they are built to standard humbucker dimensions and will fit any guitar with a standard humbucker route. Just be sure to select the correct spacing.
• Q: How do I choose between 50mm and 52mm spacing?
  A: As a general rule, 50mm is for the neck position. For the bridge, choose 50mm for Gibson-style Tune-O-Matic bridges and 52mm (F-Spaced) for Fender-style or Floyd Rose bridges.
• Q: Can I coil-split these pickups?
  A: Yes. They come standard with 4-conductor wiring, making them ready for coil-splitting with a push-pull pot or mini-switch.
• Q: How do these differ from modern high-output humbuckers?
  A: This set has a lower output, a warmer tone, and a wider dynamic range, much like a vintage PAF. Modern high-output pickups are typically more compressed and aggressive.
• Q: Are these pickups wax potted?
  A: Yes, they are lightly wax potted to control unwanted microphonic feedback while retaining the open, dynamic character of a vintage pickup.
