Frequently Asked Questions
The A8 is significantly hotter and more aggressive; the Old Guard offers a much more refined, vintage-inspired sound with a lower output.
Absolutely, the warmer Alnico 2 magnet will complement a maple neck, adding some much-needed richness and balance.
While 50 mm is common, some guitars may have slightly different spacing; you might need to adjust the pickup position or use a spacer for optimal string clearance.
