Description
Seymour Duncan Billy Gibbons' Red Devil Bridge White Pickup
This single coil sized humbucker captures the thick, articulate midrange and sustain that defined Billy Gibbons' legendary tone, offering drop-in compatibility with standard Stratocaster bodies. The medium output character balances clarity with natural breakup, responding dynamically to pick attack while maintaining definition across the frequency spectrum—ideal for layering in a mix or pushing through a live session without losing note separation.
Tone & Construction
The Alnico 5 magnet structure combined with 13.95 ohms DC resistance produces a warm yet punchy response that sits well in blues-rock and classic rock recordings. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback, ensuring clean tracking at any gain level or monitoring volume.
Electronics & Installation
A four conductor shielded cable provides flexible wiring options for series, parallel, or split configurations, letting you tailor the pickup's response to your recording chain and session requirements. The pickup is designed for drop-in installation in the bridge position of S-style (Stratocaster) guitars, streamlining your studio setup without modification.
