Seymour Duncan Cory Wong Clean Machine Mid White Pickup
The Cory Wong Clean Machine middle pickup delivers articulate, defined midrange response with transparent clarity that cuts through a mix without harshness. Designed in collaboration with Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong, this single-coil captures exceptional definition in clean and lightly overdriven recording sessions, offering dynamic range and note separation that translates precisely to tape and digital formats. The white cover integrates seamlessly into modern instrument aesthetics while maintaining the sonic character Cory developed across multiple studio recordings.
Tone & Recording Characteristics
An Alnico 4 magnet paired with 7.15k DCR creates a balanced, responsive midrange presence ideal for funk, soul, and contemporary pop production. The overwound construction pushes output slightly while preserving the clarity and touch-sensitivity essential to clean machine tones, ensuring dynamics remain articulate on tape at lower volumes and moderate gain levels, translating well through mixing and mastering stages.

Hand-assembled in Santa Barbara, this pickup features a 3-conductor shielded cloth push-back cable rated for standard wiring applications. The passive design integrates directly into existing pickup systems without requiring external power or preamps, making installation straightforward in most instrument configurations and compatible with standard studio guitar rigs.
