Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Strat Bridge Cream Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Psychedelic bridge pickup delivers a scooped-mid character that emphasizes low-end depth and high-end shimmer, capturing vintage single-coil response with pronounced bass and treble that sits well in dense mixes. Hand-wound construction ensures each pickup meets exacting tonal standards, making this cream-colored unit a reliable choice for recording and production work that demands full, resonant bridge tone with minimal midrange coloration.
Tone & Electronics
Built with Alnico 5 magnets and a 6.13K ohms DC resistance, this pickup produces the scooped-mid voicing that characterizes the Psychedelic series—delivering open, woody lows and articulate highs while reducing midrange boxiness. The hand-wound construction ensures consistent output and responsive dynamics across pick dynamics and playing techniques, translating to predictable recordings across multiple takes and session conditions.
