Description
Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini Humbucker Zebra Pickup
The Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini is a high-output bridge humbucker engineered to capture aggressive, articulate tone with substantial presence and clarity in the mix. Built with Alnico 2 magnets and a zebra cover spaced for Floyd Rose systems, this pickup delivers the focused attack and sustain that tracks modern metal and hard rock recordings. The DeMartini signature design brings a responsive character that translates harmonic definition and cutting power directly to your DAW.
Tone & Output Characteristics
The 17.6 K Ohms DC resistance and 8.83 Henry inductance generate a high-output signal with pronounced midrange presence and controlled treble. An 8.83 Henry inductance combined with Alnico 2 magnets creates a resonant peak at 4.40 KHz, yielding articulate note separation and vocal clarity even in dense chord work and high-gain mixing scenarios. The result sits cleanly in dense productions without frequency masking.
Design & Specifications
The zebra cover (double black with logo) is precisely spaced to accommodate Floyd Rose tremolo systems without modification. As a bridge-position humbucker, the DeMartini prioritizes the tight, defined response needed for lead tracking and rhythm clarity in professional studio and home-studio recording.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the DeMartini different from other high-output humbuckers like the EMG 81 or DiMarzio Crunchlab?
The DeMartini uses Alnico 2 magnets and is tuned to a 4.40 kHz resonant peak, emphasizing articulate midrange and vocal clarity in chord work and lead passages. Its character sits between the raw aggression of an EMG 81 and the midrange punch of a Crunchlab, delivering both harmonic definition and cutting power for modern metal and hard rock.
Is this pickup compatible with my Floyd Rose tremolo system?
Yes. The zebra cover is precisely spaced to accommodate Floyd Rose systems without modification, so installation is straightforward on Floyd-equipped guitars.
What genres and playing styles is the DeMartini best suited for?
The DeMartini excels in metal, hard rock, progressive, and drop-tuning applications where articulate attack, focused sustain, and cutting presence are essential. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk styles.
What skill level do I need to install and dial in this pickup?
The DeMartini is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players who are comfortable with high-output pickups and bridge positioning in aggressive rigs. Installation requires basic soldering and setup knowledge, or professional installation.
Will the DeMartini work well in a drop-tuning setup?
Yes. The tight, defined response and focused sustain of the DeMartini are engineered specifically for drop tunings and high-gain contexts, delivering clear note definition and harmonic separation even with lower string tension.
