Description
Seymour Duncan Green Magic Humbucker Neck Zebra Pickup
The Green Magic is a refined neck humbucker engineered to capture clarity and articulation without sacrificing warmth in your recordings. Its moderate output and hand-built construction deliver a balanced character that sits cleanly in dense mixes, whether tracking vintage-voiced guitar tones or layering in modern high-gain productions, making it essential for home studios and session work requiring responsive, musical neck-position performance.
Tone & Output Characteristics
With a 7.7k DCR output and Alnico II magnets, the Green Magic produces a smooth, well-defined tone that occupies its own sonic space without masking your bridge pickup in the final mix. The moderate output preserves natural string separation and sustain while maintaining the classic humbucker warmth that neck pickups are known for—essential for layering complementary guitar tracks in production.
Construction & Wiring
Hand-built in California, this pickup features a 4-conductor wiring scheme that enables coil-splitting and series/parallel configurations, expanding your tonal palette during tracking and re-amping sessions. The reverse zebra coil cover finish delivers classic aesthetics with that signature Seymour Duncan quality control behind it.
