Description
Seymour Duncan Exciter TB Nickel Cover Pickup
The Exciter TB is a high-output ceramic bridge trembucker engineered to capture aggressive, articulate tone with serious punch in the studio. Its wide spacing accommodates Floyd Rose and similar floating tremolo systems, making it an excellent retrofit choice for recording instruments that demand clarity and definition under heavy gain. The nickel-plated cover adds visual polish while maintaining the pickup's full sonic character.
Tone & Output for Recording
Built around a high-output ceramic magnet, this pickup delivers the brightness and sustain expected from ceramic designs with enhanced clarity in the upper midrange. The 17.06 kΩ DC resistance positions it firmly in the aggressive territory—ideal for high-gain tracking and mixing applications where definition remains intact even under heavy saturation, cutting through dense arrangements without losing character.
Studio Wiring & Session Flexibility
The four-conductor cable provides maximum wiring flexibility for coil-splitting and phase-switching configurations on compatible guitar electronics, expanding tonal options during production and overdub sessions. The trembucker spacing is engineered specifically for wide bridge applications, ensuring proper pole piece alignment and magnetic coupling on guitars equipped with Floyd Rose and comparable floating systems for consistent, repeatable tone across takes.
