Description
With excellent note clarity for a humbucker, we often describe the dynamics of the El Rayo as having a percussive quality almost like a single-coil pickup. The entire frequency response is relatively flat, with increased note bloom and less compression than a typical P.A.F.-style humbucker.
What’s the deal with single versus four-conductor pickups?
Single conductor leads have a hot lead inside a braided metal exterior, which functions as ground. Single conductor wiring is appropriate for traditional Les Paul-style wiring with a three-way switch and separate volume & tone controls for each pickup.
Four-conductor wiring gives each of the humbucker’s two coils their own leads. This enables you to take advantage of more complex switching like in/out of phase, series/parallel, or coil splitting. If your guitar has extra mini-switches or push/pull pots for these options, you’re likely going to want four conductor.
