Frequently Asked Questions

They'll feel slightly stiffer due to the stacked construction, but the Alnico V magnets still provide good dynamic response and note articulation.
While designed for Strats, they *can* be adapted for a Tele, but you'll likely need custom routing or adapter plates to accommodate the stacked design.
They're certainly brighter than many standard single coils, but 'aggressive' depends on your definition; they're more about clarity and cut than outright high-gain distortion.
