Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the mounting is standard Strat, but the high output might require some tweaking of your amp's gain settings to avoid muddiness.
They are very quiet due to the active circuitry, but extremely high gain settings and single-coil hum can still benefit from a noise gate for ultimate silence.
