Description
Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick Bridge Humbucker Zebra Pickup
The Alex Skolnick Bridge Humbucker delivers a focused, articulate response that cuts through a mix with clarity and presence. Designed in collaboration with Testament's Alex Skolnick, this zebra-coil pickup emphasizes midrange frequencies while maintaining the harmonic complexity essential for professional bridge position tracking. The hot winding and purposeful EQ curve excel in both heavy riff capture and high-gain lead recording.
Tone & Recording Character
With a DC resistance of 17.7 kΩ, this pickup operates in the hot-output range without sacrificing articulation in dense mixes. The midrange emphasis carves definition through aggressive amplifier settings during overdub work, while the Alnico 5 rough cast magnet provides the resonance and harmonic complexity that translates clearly to tape and digital converters.
Build & Specifications
Built and hand-wound in Santa Barbara, California, each unit meets Seymour Duncan's quality standards for consistent session performance. The four-conductor cable enables coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring configurations, expanding your tonal palette within a single tracking session without hardware swaps.
