Description
Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini Humbucker Gold Cover Pickup
The Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini is a bridge-position humbucker engineered to cut through dense mixes with articulate, punchy response and exceptional clarity in the upper midrange. In the studio or live setting, this pickup maintains tight definition across all playing dynamics, delivering the precision and presence required for professional recordings where every note must register with impact and separation.
Electrical Performance
With a DC resistance of 17.6 kΩ and inductance of 8.83 H, this pickup balances output with tonal responsiveness. The 4.40 kHz resonant peak focuses energy in the critical upper-midrange region, delivering the aggressive articulation the DeMartini design is known for without sacrificing note definition or string separation—essential characteristics for capturing clarity in multitrack recordings where guitar sits alongside bass, drums, and vocals.
Construction & Materials
Built with an Alnico 2 magnet for a warm yet controlled magnetic field, the pickup pairs classic magnet characteristics with modern winding techniques. The distinctive gold cover serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, shielding the coils while contributing to the overall tonal character and session versatility across different amp and preamp combinations.
