Frequently Asked Questions
The RWRP design reverses the winding, resulting in a slightly warmer, more rounded tone with less of the traditional 'ice-pick' high-end, making it smoother for rhythm playing.
The 11-hole mounting pattern is modern; it won’t directly fit vintage Strats without modification to the tremolo cavity or pickguard routing.
Like most vintage-style single coils, these pickups will exhibit a degree of inherent hum, although the quality construction minimizes it; noise gates can easily address this if needed.
