Seymour Duncan Green Magic Humbucker Black Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Green Magic Humbucker Black Pickup Set

The Green Magic humbuckers deliver a balanced, articulate voice that sits cleanly in a mix without sacrificing warmth or sustain. This 2-piece neck and bridge set uses Alnico 2 magnets and reverse-phase winding on the neck pickup to create harmonic complexity and reduced hum, making them an excellent choice for engineers seeking clarity and definition across multiple genres and session styles.

Tone & Output Characteristics

The neck pickup generates 7.7k output while the bridge reaches 8.7k, providing moderate-to-hot response suitable for capturing clean articulation and driven tones in the mix. The neck pickup's 180° magnet flip positions it out of phase with the bridge unit, resulting in thinner, more transparent tones when both pickups are engaged together—ideal for layering rhythm parts and exploring creative blending options during recording sessions.

Construction & Wiring

Both pickups employ 4-conductor shielded cable, allowing flexible coil-splitting and phase-switching options for tracking and mixing versatility. The Alnico 2 magnet choice emphasizes midrange warmth and natural breakup, a hallmark of classic humbucker design that translates beautifully to digital and analog recording environments.
