Frequently Asked Questions
They capture a similar warmth and complexity but lack the extreme high-end sparkle and raw, unfiltered character of truly aged vintage pickups; the noise reduction is the key difference.
It's designed for standard Stratocaster configurations with an 11-hole pickguard; modifications might be needed for non-standard routings or vintage tremolo systems.
