Trem-buckers
Get your E strings back with Trem-bucker pickups! Seymour Duncan was the first
to introduce humbuckers that feature wider spacing for Fender or Floyd Rose
spaced vibrato systems. No more drop outs or wimpy response from your high and
low E strings. Available in several models. For bridge position
Alnico II Pro Humbucker
After players heard the Alnico II Pro single coil models, many asked for
that same sweetness in a humbucker version. The only way to get that sound is to
use the Alnico II musical magnets with a new coil winding. The result is a warm,
sweet tone with more natural string vibration for great sustain. Four conductor
cable
JB ™ Model
A completely balanced coil configuration produces great harmonics and a high
output with just the right blend of sustain and distortion. You get the best of
both worlds: from sweet warm tones to raw rock 'n' roll. Combine this with the
(SH-2) Jazz Neck and you've got Seymour's personal favorite combination.
Recommended for Bridge position Four conductor cable, Available in Trembucker ™ spacing, Available with a
nickel- or gold plated nickel silver cover
Distortion Trembucker ™
A powerful ceramic magnet and extra coil windings give this pickup a punchy
singing tone with a clear, articulate high-end and plenty of grind on the
bottom. It's a definite crankin' pickup. Four conductor cable
Pearly Gates ™
The original custom Pearly Gates pickups were wound for the famous '59 Les
Paul Standard that defined the raw, rebellious sound of Texas blues rock.
Essentially a variation on the Patent Applied For sound, the Pearly Gates sound
is sweet, but slightly rude, with great sustain and a bright top that makes
harmonics jump out of the guitar. Four conductor cable, Available in Trembucker
spacing. This is the choice of ZZ Top Guitarist Billy Gibbons.
George Lynch Screamin' Demon ™
This pickup was designed in the Custom Shop for George Lynch. It has the big
open sound of the '59 Model with a little less bite and a little more growl. The
tone is big, percussive and still bites without being harsh. It uses alnico
magnets and yields medium output. Four conductor cable, Available in Trembucker
spacing
Original Parallel Axis Trembucker
This humbucker is specially calibrated for the neck position. Its spacing is
also adjusted to allow for precise string alignment. Its tone is sweet and
bluesy. The more gain you add, the more it sings. Four conductor cable.
Seth Lover Model ™
The SH-55 was designed jointly by Seymour and Seth Lover. Just like the
original 1955 P.A.F.s, it utilizes a nickel silver bottom plate, butyrate
plastic bobbins; plain enamel wire, an Alnico bar magnet,
a wooden spacer, and black paper tape. The SH-55 uses a nickel silver cover
instead of brass, which magnetically eliminates too much of the pickup's natural
high-end tone. To be completely true to the original design and tone, the pickup
is not wax potted. The tone is vintage P.A.F. The Neck pickup will warm up even
the coldest guitar. And the unpotted covers give the bridge pickup just enough
boldness to break up early and really cut. Single conductor cable Available in
nickel- or gold plated finishes.
Duncan Distortion
The Duncan Distortion gives you high output while retaining clarity. A
massive ceramic magnet and hot symmetrical coils deliver tremendous power and
raw distorted rock sounds. Four conductor cable, Available in Trembucker
spacing.
LiveWire Classic Humbucker
Classic LiveWire Humbuckers are full-bodied with a
wide frequency response and rich sustain. They have a potent sound that lets you
hear every note in the chord. Like all the LiveWire active pickups, they are wax
potted and sealed in epoxy to eliminate feedback.
Duncan Custom
Beef up the sound of the Patent Applied For pickup and you get a hard
driving, kicking sound with just the right balance of power, sustain, and
distortion. This pickup cuts through with a distinctive high end and midrange
attack. Recommended for bridge position, Four conductor cable Available in
Trembucker ™ spacing.
LiveWire Metal Humbucker
After introducing the Classic LiveWire active humbuckers, players requested
the power and crunch of the Duncan Distortion in an active pickup design. So
Seymour went to work and came up with the Metal LiveWire Humbucker. It has a
thick screaming tone with mid-range punch that blows your hair back. Not a
subtle pickup, but one that gets your point across loud and proud. You can get
the single bridge model or go for the whole calibrated humbucker set. Duncan
even make a set with one bridge model and two Hot LiveWire pickups for Strat
guitars for an aggressive, versatile combination.
Full Shred
This pickup was built for some of rock 'n' roll's hottest
guitarists who wanted a pickup with a blazing expressive sound. Double rows of
Allen head screw pole pieces help fine tune the high end. The tone is fat and
chunky, yet perfectly defined for speed riffs. Four conductor cable,
Invader
The Invader
sounds as powerful as it looks. The combination of three large ceramic magnets,
hot coils and twelve black oxide cap screws give this awesome pickup bolts of
volts for an electrifying force of energy. The wide magnetic field pumps power
into your amp with unique brightness and a totally new sound. Four conductor
cable.
Allan Holdsworth Model
Since Allan has a very fluid style,
Duncan had to develop a humbucker that would produce the subtleties of this
playing. Built with mirror image coils and adjustable screws for extra midrange
strength and excellent sustain. Four conductor cable
Recommended for the bridge
position.
Stag Mag
A versatile humbucker with the edgy brightness of a single
coil pickup and the option of the humbucker's full toned warmth. Staggered rod
magnets contribute to the unique sound. When split and used in single coil mode,
the sound is characteristic of a vintage Strat. Four conductor cable,
Recommended for the bridge position
Vintage Staggered for Strat
An exact replica of the original
Alnico V Stratocaster pickups. The same type of magnet wire is used, as well as
the same number of coil windings. The staggered rod magnets are hand ground,
then aged by the exclusive Dun-Aged process, lacquered bobbins and cloth braid
hookup wire complete the vintage look. Every detail is included to duplicate the
bell like tone and the high-end bite that made the vintage Strat famous.
Available in left handed version Available reverse wound, reverse polarity
(RW/RP) Available in calibrated sets with a RW/RP middle.
Hot Rails for Strat
Hot Rails are one of the highest output pickups Duncan
makes. It's a humbucker that fits into a normal single coil slot, so you get the
noise canceling effect without cutting a large hole in your guitar. The two thin
blades with powerful coil windings give you the incredible sustain and a fat,
full sound that's needed for playing heavier rock music. This pickup responds to
the subtlest finger movements. Available in black or white Four conductor
cable.
Quarter-Pound for Strat
More than double the power of a stock
pickup. You get a fat, punchy sound, clean at lower volumes and high output when
cranked. Lead playing with this pickup easily cuts above a humbucker. The hand
polished, quarter inch wide magnets are matched with a powerful coil winding to
deliver great sustain. Available RW/RP Available in calibrated sets with a RW/RP
middle.
Cool Rails for Strat
Created by popular demand from
players, Cool Rails use the same twin coil design as the Hot Rails, but
are wound to produce a clear, bright, dynamic sound. Hotter and louder than both
the Vintage Staggered (SSL-1) Hot Stack (STK-S2) pickups, Cool Rails are
for players who need a loud, punchy single coil sound for stage work. Cool Rails
are great on their own and also make an excellent match on a guitar with a hot
humbucker in the bridge position. Available in black or white Four conductor
cable.
Alnico II Pro, Staggered
Alnico II magnets are the musical
magnets. Their softer magnetic field provides a warmer, sweeter tone and
eliminates the brittle, glassy sound associated with newer instruments. The
result is a freer, more natural string vibration for greater sustain. Available
in a left-handed version with a reversed staggered magnet patter for lefties or
for right handed players striving for that classic Hendrix sound. Available in
left handed version, Available reverse wound, reverse polarity (RW/RP) Available
in calibrated sets with a RW/RP middle.
JB Jr. for Strat
This twin coil design pickup gives you the character of the
popular JB model humbucker in a single coil size. Its adjustable pole
pieces more closely emulate the magnetic field of a full size humbucker and
allow you to fine tune the balance of your strings: a first for a humbucker this
size. You can expect great harmonics and a sweet high end. Use a complete set of
Juniors or pair one in the bridge with a Duckbucker in the neck and or
middle and have the quietest working man's Strat around. Available
in black or white Four conductor cable.
Alnico II Pro, Flat
This pickup combines the same coil design as its
predecessor, the APS-1, with rod magnets of equal length raised above the flat
work. The flat magnet pattern provides the balanced field necessary for an even
response using today's strings and flatter neck radii. The Alnico II magnets'
softer magnetic field creates a warmer, smoother sound and eliminates the
brittle, glassy sound associated with new instruments. Available RW/RP Available
in calibrated sets with a RW/RP middle.
Custom Staggered for Strat
These are the Seymourized versions.
They look like the SSL-1 and have the distinct vintage tone. However, the
stronger magnetic field and custom coil give you higher output, more sustain,
and great harmonics. Available in tapped and left-handed versions Cover included
Available RW/RP Available in calibrated sets with a RW/RP middle.
Little '59 for Strat
This little brute was designed to impart all of the warm,
smooth tone of an old 1959 Patent Applied For humbucker in a direct replacement,
single coil size. It possesses an even, dynamic response, and its adjustable
pole pieces allow the guitarist to fine tune the string balance and dial in just
the right amount of punch. A whole set of Little '59s will deliver a rich, open
sound: or a bridge Little '59 matched up with Duckbuckers in the neck and middle
will provide a best of both worlds '59 Les Paul /57 Strat tone. Available
in black or white Four conductor cable
Li'l Screamin' Demon for Strat
Like its big brother the Screamin'
Demon humbucker, this li'l savage combines a big, open sound with just a subtle
hint of glass in a direct replacement humbucker for Strat guitars. George asked
for a pickup that could scream and provide rich harmonics, but would clean up
when he backed it off. Using a unique slotted and Allen head screw combination
that drives each coil a slightly different magnetic field, the tone is big and
percussive without being too harsh. Available in black or white Four
conductor cable
Vintage Rails for Strat
Vintage Rails use a unique split
rail, twin coil design and special wiring to achieve true single coil tone
without any hum. The sound is clean, clear and bright, with all that quack you
love in the notch positions. Use them as a complete set or with a Hot
Rails in the bridge for a truly versatile Strat. Available in black
or white
Classic LiveWire
The Classic for Strat has a traditional, bell like tone. The
high end is tempered for brilliance, without being harsh. The mids have solid
punch and the low end is ultra light. It's a very musical sound.
Duckbuckers for Strat
Such a silly name for such a serious
pickup! Using a patented design and a voicing based on our Vintage Rails
Duckbuckers offer the advantage of incorporating six fully adjustable pole
pieces. And by using the true hum canceling construction together with a unique,
split blade design, Duckbuckers duplicate all the warm tone, cool output, and
outrageous quack of a vintage Strat pickup. All quack, no hum. Available in
black or white
Hot LiveWire
The Hot model is the highest output pickup Duncan makes.
Beware! You may have to turn down the volume to keep this pickup under control.
These pickups have a very strong midrange with more frequency response than any
high output pickup. The searing sound really cuts through when you step up to
solo. It's perfect for hot and heavy, lightning leads.
Classic Stack for Strat
The complex and distinctive sound of
the old Stratocaster guitars was due to the narrow, sharply focused
magnetic field of the single coil pickup. With staggered magnet heights, our
Classic Stack pickup duplicates this sought after sound. By stacking two coils
on top of each other, the annoying noise and hum of the single coil pickup is
eliminated. White cover included Four conductor cable
The Parallel Axis Stack for Strat
Designed as a companion pickup to the
Parallel Axis humbucking pickups, it features a noise canceling single coil
Stack design and tremolo spacing. The sound is clear and full. Good for clean
rhythm or bluesy solo tone. Due to the slightly increased size of this pickup,
some guitar modification may be necessary. Four conductor cable
Hot Stack for Strat
A powerful ceramic magnet surrounded by two Stack coils
sends more current into your amp. You get long sustain and super string
sensitivity combined with the extra output you need for stage work. White cover
included Four conductor cable |
