Frequently Asked Questions

The ceramic magnet in the middle provides a slightly brighter, more focused sound, which helps cut through in position 4 and balances the overall voicing when using multiple pickups.
It's significantly easier than traditional soldering, but a basic understanding of guitar wiring diagrams and pickup connections will be helpful for optimal results.
The Crossroads offers a more authentic vintage feel than Fender's noiseless pickups, while providing a slightly more aggressive edge than the warmer PAF-style DiMarzios, all without the hum.
