Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the dimensions and mounting points are standard for T-style guitars, making them straightforward to install, but minor routing adjustments might be needed for some older models.
They capture a similar sonic character but offer slightly improved clarity and articulation thanks to the Alnico V magnets, while retaining that essential vintage growl.
While usable, their lower output means you'll likely need to crank your amp's gain to achieve a similar level of drive; they really shine with cleaner, more vintage-voiced amps.
