Frequently Asked Questions
The 'S' version is specifically designed for single-coil routes, so it's physically smaller and has a slightly more focused, less muddy tone than the full-size Super Distortion.
While it's a high-output pickup, the ceramic magnet and design prevent excessive mud, but careful EQing might still be needed depending on your amp and playing style.
Ceramic bobbins are generally durable, but they *can* chip if subjected to significant impact; handle with care and avoid dropping your guitar.
