Description
Seymour Duncan Green Magic Humbucker Neck Black Pickup
The Green Magic neck humbucker captures a balanced, articulate response with controlled output that sits perfectly in the neck position. Its flipped magnet design generates an out-of-phase tonal character, delivering a distinctive voice that expands your recording palette without requiring dual-pickup phase switching. This pickup excels when tracking clean leads, warm rhythm textures, and layered harmony work in the studio.
Tone & Magnetic Design
The Alnico 2 magnet paired with a 7.7k output produces a warm yet defined tone with excellent string separation—critical for isolating individual notes during overdub sessions. The flipped magnet configuration delivers the sought-after out-of-phase character—thinner, more transparent textures ideal for vintage-voiced productions or sessions exploring unconventional harmonic territory that cuts through dense mixes.
Recording & Wiring Flexibility
Built with a 4-conductor shielded cable, this pickup unlocks wiring flexibility for coil-tapping and phase configurations beyond standard parallel operation, expanding your sonic options mid-project. The 5 oz weight reflects a standard humbucker mass, ensuring no unusual load on your guitar's electronics cavity or structural integrity during extended studio sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the flipped-magnet design actually do to the tone?
The flipped magnet generates an out-of-phase tonal character naturally, delivering thinner, more transparent textures and excellent string separation. This gives you the sought-after out-of-phase sound in the neck position without requiring dual-pickup phase switching or wiring tricks.
Is this pickup suitable for high-gain metal or drop-tuned playing?
No. The Green Magic is optimized for lead work, rhythm playing, and vintage-voiced setups where articulation and clarity are priorities. Its 7.7k output and warm, defined character make it better suited for players who value string separation over compressed, sustained distortion tones.
What's included with the pickup, and what wiring options does it support?
The Green Magic comes with a 4-conductor shielded cable, which gives you flexibility for coil-tapping and phase configurations beyond standard parallel operation. It's neck-position configured and weighs 5 oz, making it a standard fit for most guitar electronics cavities.
How does the Green Magic compare to other Seymour Duncan neck pickups?
Unlike the '59 Neck, the Green Magic's flipped-magnet design produces out-of-phase character built-in, offering thinner, more transparent textures. It sits between the warmth of vintage designs and the articulate response needed for modern studio and live clarity.
