Description
Seymour Duncan Cory Wong Clean Machine White Pickup Set
The Cory Wong Clean Machine pickups deliver articulate, glassy single-coil character with impressive clarity and definition across the neck. Designed in collaboration with Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong, this three-piece set excels at capturing clean tones with natural dynamics and minimal noise in the studio. The stacked bridge humbucker eliminates hum while maintaining the bright, responsive character that sits perfectly in dense mixes without sacrificing definition.
Tonal Character & Recording Performance
The neck and middle pickups employ traditional single-coil configuration with Alnico 4 magnets, producing transparent midrange and articulate highs that cut through rhythm sections and preserve the nuance of funky, syncopated playing. The bridge features a hum-canceling stacked design with Alnico 5 magnet, delivering increased output and sustain without the 60-cycle hum associated with single-coils, making it suitable for both pristine clean recordings and gently driven tones that layer smoothly in the mix.
Construction & Specifications
Each pickup is handmade in Santa Barbara, California to exacting standards. The complete set includes a 3C shielded cloth push-back cable for reliable signal transmission with minimal interference during recording sessions. Passive design ensures compatibility with standard guitar wiring and amplification without requiring additional power, simplifying studio setup and signal flow.

The set includes three pickups—neck, middle, and bridge—plus a 3C shielded cloth push-back cable for signal transmission. All pickups are handmade in Santa Barbara, California.

This hybrid design balances clarity across the entire neck with hum-free performance at the bridge.
