Frequently Asked Questions
The options let you tap the P90, combine P90 and Hot Rails, use each pickup individually, or engage both for a full, high-gain tone.
While versatile, the medium output might be a bit subdued for extreme metal; they’re better suited for rock and heavier blues-influenced genres.
You’ll likely need to file the pickup base slightly to accommodate the wider spacing; it’s not a guaranteed drop-in replacement.
