Q:
I am not viewing this site properly (menus are not working or cut
off, sections are overlapping, etc.). What can I do?
A: This site is
best viewed when using the
Mozilla Firefox Web Browser.
Operation in older browsers (such as Internet Explorer), will vary.
Q:
How can I tell which pickup is for the Bridge/Rear Position, and
which is for the Neck/Front Position?
A: Most of our
pickups are marked on the bottom as a "B" or "R" for the Bridge/Rear
Position, or marked with a "N" or "F" for the Neck/Front Position.
For unmarked pickups, the position can be determined by the color of
the Hot Lead Wire. Bridge Position pickups will have a Red Hot Wire,
Neck Position pickups will have a White Hot Wire, and Middle
Position pickups will have a Yellow Hot Wire. Additionally, the Pole
Piece Spacing varies from position to position for most pickup
models. Use the spec pages for each model as a reference.
Q:
What is Pole Piece or String Spacing?
A: The Spacing of
a Pickup's Pole Pieces should match the String Spread Spacing of
your guitar (within 1-2mm) in it's respective position. This is the
measurement of distance between your 2 outer strings (for example,
the Low E to High E on a standard 6-String), or the 2 outer pole
pieces of the pickup.
Q:
Can I install my own pickups? Or do I need to have it done by a
professional?
A: In most cases,
a pickup installation is nothing more than removing an old pickup,
and soldering the leads from a new one in it's place. We offer basic
wiring instructions for each model on our
Wiring Page. There are also tons of sites online that
will guide you through your project. If you do not feel comfortable
doing it yourself, take your guitar to a qualified technician or
Luthier.
