Frequently asked questions
Why can't I find specs for the Exciter TB Zebra?
Seymour Duncan's official product line does not list a model specifically named 'Exciter TB Zebra' with published technical data. Verify the exact model name on the pickup or its original packaging before purchase.
What genres is the RTM DeMartini TB Black best suited for?
The RTM DeMartini TB Black is engineered for metal, djent, progressive, hard rock, and thrash metal. Its 19.1K ohms DC resistance and 4.40 kHz resonant peak deliver the articulate, punchy tone these genres demand. It is not recommended for blues, jazz, or folk.
What's the difference between standard and Trembucker spacing on the DeMartini?
Standard humbucker spacing (50mm) measures 17.6K ohms DC resistance, while Trembucker spacing measures 19.1K ohms. Trembucker spacing fits guitars with wider bridge pole spacing. The RTM DeMartini TB Black is the Trembucker variant.
Is the RTM DeMartini TB Black easy to install?
Yes. The pickup includes four-conductor wiring, 14 inches of braided lead wire, and standard configuration designed to fit most guitar setups. The four-conductor design also allows coil-splitting for tonal flexibility.
