Frequently Asked Questions
The Type 4 is generally hotter and has a more aggressive high-end; the Opus-4 is a bit smoother and more vintage-voiced.
Yes, that's a fairly standard resistance for an Alnico 2 humbucker, indicating a moderate output level.
While it handles gain well, it might lack the extreme output of hotter pickups, so it’s better suited for classic rock than full-on metal.
