Description
Seymour Duncan TB-12 Screamin' Demon Trembucker White Pickup
The TB-12 Screamin' Demon Trembucker is a bridge pickup engineered to cut through dense mixes with aggressive, articulate high-end presence while maintaining tight sustain and note clarity. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with medium output and an Alnico 5 bar magnet, it records with excellent string-to-string definition across all six strings, making it ideal for layered tracking and multi-tracked arrangements.
Recording & Mix Performance
With a DC resistance of 10.9k Ohm and slightly overwound coils, the Screamin' Demon captures a focused, percussive attack that sits well in competitive mixes, especially valuable for rock and metal production. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring clean recordings and feedback-free operation during high-gain sessions without unwanted artifacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What string spacing does this pickup require?
The TB-12 Screamin' Demon is a Trembucker designed for guitars with greater than 2.00 inches of string spacing (E to E), accommodating wider string spacing than standard bridge pickups. It features mixed pole pieces—adjustable screws on one row and Allen head screws on the opposite row—allowing precise voicing adjustments for your specific guitar.
Is this pickup suitable for blues or jazz?
No—the TB-12 is optimized for metal, hard rock, rock, and djent applications. Its aggressive, articulate character and medium-output profile are engineered for high-gain clarity rather than the warm, dynamic response preferred in blues and jazz styles.
What's included with the pickup?
The TB-12 comes with a 4-conductor lead wire, an included hookup cable, and a trim ring. It is a bridge-position-only pickup, hand-built in Santa Barbara with vacuum wax potting to eliminate microphonic squeal.
How does the output level compare to other bridge pickups?
The TB-12 features medium output (10.9k Ohm DC resistance) with slightly overwound coils for enhanced presence, positioning it between vintage and hot output levels. This balance delivers percussive attack and clarity without the muddy response of higher-output alternatives, making it ideal for tight, controlled tones in high-gain settings.
Can I adjust the pickup voicing after installation?
Yes—the mixed pole piece design includes adjustable screws on one row and Allen head screws on the opposite row, allowing you to fine-tune the pickup's response and balance once installed in your guitar.
