Description
Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini TB White Pickup
The Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini Trembucker captures aggressive modern output with refined harmonic character, delivering articulate cut that slices through dense mixes without harshness. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this white bridge humbucker maintains the dynamic response and clarity that professional recording chains demand—cutting through while preserving note definition and sustain.
Recording & Mix Character
The Alnico 2 magnet structure and 19.1 kΩ DC resistance establish a high-output profile with natural compression and punchy midrange presence that translates well to tape and digital recording. This configuration excels at driving tracking rigs and recording chains with responsive breakup while keeping individual notes locked and defined across the full frequency spectrum—essential for layered productions and dense arrangements.
Studio Setup & Flexibility
Standard 50mm Trembucker spacing with short mounting legs installs directly into modern bridge positions without modification. The four-conductor wiring enables series/parallel coil-splitting capability, adding tonal options for different song sections and mix requirements without requiring multiple guitar swaps during sessions.
