The Seymour Duncan Black Winter set of humbuckers have been causing a bit of a storm in the metal guitar scene since they were released last year. With very prominent players such as Ola Englund and Keith Merrow using them you can see why this new humbucker has been gaining such a reputation.
Seymour Duncan Black Winter
The Seymour Duncan Black Winter Set of pickups were originally designed for the Scandinavian market. With Scandinavia being renowned for extreme black metal styles, Seymour Duncan developed a pickup to capture that brutal tone. Due to so much demand Seymour Duncan have now made Black Winter humbuckers part of their main catalogue. This Seymour Duncan Black Winter Calibrated Humbucker Set will transform your guitar in to an extreme metal machine! Three large ceramic magnets have been used with a special winding process to produce a distortion that is crushing with aggressive saturation in the mids and high end. This clever balance of mids, treble and bass is ideal for fast crushing riffs and screaming lead solo work. Yet Seymour Duncan Black Winter pickups still provide a clean and articulate tone which can be used for a variety of musical styles.
Seymour Duncan Black Winter Set of Calibrated Humbuckers
The Seymour Duncan Black Winter Set has been calibrated to give you two pickups perfectly suited to the bridge and neck positions. The bridge pickup has a huge 16.60k DC resistance offset by 13.00k in the neck pickup. Both pickups feature a 4 conductor cable allowing for coil splitting with in and out of phase wiring possibilities. Seymour Duncan have given Black Winter pickups a completely new look to set them apart from the average Duncan. They only come in black with the Seymour Duncan logo written in a special Old English font. The darkness continues with black bottom plates, black pole pieces and screws. The only hint of colour comes from the red wire coil winding through small holes on the bobbins.
