Seymour Duncan Jason Becker Bridge Zebra Pickup
The Jason Becker Bridge Zebra captures articulate, cutting tones that translate clearly to tape and digital recording—a signature characteristic of Seymour Duncan's collaboration with the virtuoso guitarist. This hotter-than-vintage 12K humbucker balances definition and aggression, tracking cleanly through high-gain fusion passages while maintaining clarity on sustained, layered lines. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, it's engineered for producers and engineers tracking guitars that demand precision and character in the bridge position.
Recording Tone & Mix Performance
The Alnico 5 magnet paired with a 12.11k DC resistance yields medium output with excellent string definition and dynamic responsiveness—ideal for capturing note-to-note articulation during tracking. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring clean, feedback-free signal to your interface at any recording level, while the 4-conductor lead wire accommodates series, parallel, and split-coil configurations for tonal shaping and mix flexibility.
