Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter, Humbucker Bridge Matte Black Pi

Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter HB Bridge Matte Black Pickup

The Blackened Black Winter bridge humbucker captures aggressive articulation and punchy midrange cut, making it ideal for tracking modern high-gain and alternative material. This high-output design combines aggressive treble response with deep bass presence, carving through dense mixes while maintaining clarity in the final recording. Hand-built in Santa Barbara using traditional methods, it brings professional-grade consistency and predictability to studio sessions.

Tone & Output Character

With an EQ curve of +6 bass, –6 mids, and +6 treble, this pickup shapes a scooped yet articulate voice that sits perfectly in the mix for chuggy riffs and lead layers. The 16.6k DCR and 5.174 H inductance deliver high output with controlled harmonic complexity—aggressive tone without the mud that clouds your mix.

Construction & Reliability

Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal and feedback, critical for maintaining clean takes during high-gain tracking and extended lower tunings. The robust design uses three large ceramic magnets with a DiMarzio PAF Pro-style baseplate layout, providing the output and sustain your recordings need for professional results.
