Who better than Seymour knows how a late 1960s humbucker should sound? A tribute to a great English guitarist from that era, here is a high-end humbucker equipped with Alnico 2 magnets. This particular pickup features a reversed magnet that produces a very distinctive out-of-phase tone when engaged simultaneously with the bridge pickup.
Version for neck position with a zebra finish. Constructed with 4 conductors for split wiring. Resistance: 7.7 kOhms
The road is long for guitarists seeking the ultimate late sixties blues rock tone. An iconic guitarist from that era discovered his signature sound through a happy accident: a pickup whose magnet was accidentally installed backwards, out of phase.
While these humbuckers deliver the ultimate blues rock grit for the neck and bridge positions, the middle position opens the door to a clarity and expressiveness usually reserved for single coils. The reversed magnet in the neck pickup causes a phase inversion when engaged with the bridge pickup, which is how Seymour Duncan recreates this very particular setup with the Green Magic set. These pickups are perfectly calibrated for that classic, warm, and dynamic tone that makes the magic of blues sound.
