Frequently Asked Questions

The Exciter has a significantly hotter output and a more aggressive, scooped midrange compared to the JB, which is a more balanced pickup.
It can, but be prepared for a substantial increase in output and a more modern, less vintage tone compared to traditional Les Paul pickups.
Generally less so than some Alnico magnets, but it's still possible, especially at high volumes and gain – proper shielding is always a good practice.
