Seymour Duncan Black Winter neck 8-String Pickup

Seymour Duncan Black Winter Neck 8-String Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Black Winter Neck is a high-output passive humbucker engineered to capture articulate, controlled aggression across the extended range of 8-string instruments. In the mix, this pickup produces tight low-end definition and clarity in the midrange, making it essential for modern metal and progressive recordings where note separation remains critical even at drop tunings.

Tone & Output Character

With a DC resistance of 13.00k Ohms and a resonant peak at 6.35 kHz, this pickup balances high-output aggression with controlled upper midrange presence. The ceramic bar magnet contributes to a bright, cutting tone that cuts through dense arrangements without sacrificing articulation or sustain—essential for tracking and layering complex instrumental parts.

Construction & Wiring

Vacuum wax potted internally to eliminate microphonic feedback and squeal, the pickup features a four-conductor cable for flexible wiring options and coil-tap capability if desired. Built to exacting USA manufacturing standards, this is a purpose-built component designed for recording sessions that demand reliability and consistency take after take.
