Description
Seymour Duncan Green Magic Humbucker Bridge Nickel Cover Pickup
The Green Magic bridge humbucker captures balanced, articulate recordings that sit cleanly in a mix without sacrificing presence. This Alnico II pickup excels in moderately-driven tracking where note definition matters as much as sustain, making it a solid choice for producers seeking vintage character with usable output across multiple recording styles and session scenarios.
Tone & Recording Response
Rated for vintage output with a measured 8.7k DCR, this pickup delivers warm, responsive midrange without excessive compression during tracking. The Alnico II magnet structure contributes to naturally articulate top-end and smooth breakup on tape or digital media, ideal for both clean recordings and moderate gain capture.
Construction & Studio Integration
Built as a standard humbucker mount with a nickel cover that maintains full resonance from the coil assembly during recording sessions. The 4-conductor wiring provides drop-in compatibility with most modern wiring schemes in your studio setup, and this pickup is manufactured in the United States to Seymour Duncan's established quality standards.
