Description
Seymour Duncan Green Magic Humbucker Bridge Gold Cover Pickup
The Green Magic bridge humbucker delivers a punchy, articulate response that cuts through a mix without sacrificing harmonic complexity. This pickup excels at defined note separation and dynamic range, capturing clarity alongside vintage-influenced character in your recordings. The Alnico II magnet structure and moderate output respond naturally to pick attack and finger dynamics, translating playing subtlety into the signal chain.
Tone & Output Character
At 8.7k DCR, the Green Magic operates in the sweet spot between vintage warmth and modern articulation. This output level provides enough gain for driven tones without sacrificing the sensitivity needed to capture subtle playing nuances, making it equally capable in blues, rock, and higher-gain tracking sessions.
Construction & Session Versatility
Built in the United States with a 4-conductor winding, this humbucker offers wiring flexibility for coil-splitting and phase options if your guitar's electronics support them, expanding tonal possibilities across multiple recording scenarios. The gold cover adds classic aesthetic appeal while the standard bridge-position footprint fits virtually all modern and vintage-style guitars used in home and professional studios.
