Description
Seymour Duncan TB-11 Custom Custom Trembucker Zebra Pickup
The TB-11 Custom Custom Trembucker delivers a balanced, articulate voice with enough output and presence to cut through any mix. Engineered with expanded pole spacing and short legs, this pickup sits perfectly in thin-body guitars and works seamlessly with Floyd Rose and locking bridge systems. The zebra coil configuration offers classic Seymour Duncan craftsmanship in a format designed for bridge-position clarity without sacrificing warmth.
Tone & Output Character
A DC resistance of 14.4 kΩ and 5.2 kHz resonant peak yield a focused midrange bite with extended articulation that cuts through dense mixes and multi-tracked arrangements. The EQ curve of 3/7/7 (Bass/Mid/Treble) emphasizes presence in the upper midrange and treble while maintaining a controlled low end—essential for capturing defined lead tones, modern rock textures, and high-gain recordings where note separation and sustain are critical to the final mix.
Construction & Design
Hand built in Santa Barbara, this pickup uses an Alnico II bar magnet and nickel silver bottom plate for tonal warmth and sustain that translates well to tape and digital recording chains. Vacuum wax potting eliminates feedback and squeal for clean, noise-free recording sessions, while the four-conductor cable allows for series, parallel, and split-coil wiring options to suit your electronics and session requirements.
