Description
Seymour Duncan Green Magic Humbucker Neck Reverse Zebra Pickup
The Green Magic neck pickup delivers a balanced, articulate response that cuts through in a mix without sacrificing warmth—essential for capturing clear, defined neck position tones in the studio. Hand-built in California, this reverse zebra humbucker uses a reversed magnet phase configuration to offer unique tonal characteristics that excel in layered arrangements and precision recording scenarios.
Tone & Output
Powered by Alnico II magnets and rated at 7.7k DCR, this pickup produces a vintage-output response that avoids mud while maintaining definition across the frequency spectrum—critical for clean tracking and post-production flexibility. The reversed magnet phase configuration distinguishes this model from standard humbuckers, providing a tonal signature that works exceptionally well as a primary neck position recording tool.
Design & Build
The reverse zebra finish combines alternating black and cream bobbins for visual appeal alongside functional performance. 4-conductor wiring enables flexible installation options and coil-splitting capabilities on compatible guitar electronics, expanding sonic possibilities during recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the reversed magnet phase, and how does it change the tone?
The reversed magnet configuration inverts the polarity of the magnets compared to standard humbuckers, creating a unique tonal signature with enhanced articulation and reduced mud. This design is particularly effective in the neck position for precision-focused and aggressive playing styles.
Will this neck pickup work well for jazz, progressive, and hard rock?
Yes—the Green Magic is specifically voiced for progressive, hard rock, and jazz applications. Its balanced articulation and vintage output sit well in these genres, though it is not recommended for thrash metal or drop-tuning work.
What does 4-conductor wiring give me?
4-conductor wiring enables coil-splitting and other custom wiring configurations on compatible guitar electronics, giving you tonal flexibility beyond standard humbucker operation.
What's the output level, and will it match other pickups in my guitar?
The Green Magic is rated at 7.7k DCR with vintage-output response. Pairing it with a bridge pickup in the same output range will balance your guitar's overall voicing across both positions.
Is this pickup made in the USA?
Yes, the Green Magic is hand-built in California by Seymour Duncan.
