Frequently Asked Questions
The Aftermath is a bit more refined and versatile, while the Brute Force leans into raw aggression and higher output. The Brute Force is the more extreme option.
It *can*, but the high output might be a bit much for a Strat’s typical voicing. You’ll need a strong amp to drive it and be prepared for potential noise issues.
50mm is a fairly standard spacing for humbuckers, but always double-check your guitar's specs to ensure a proper fit and avoid string binding.
