Seymour Duncan TB-14 Custom 5 Trembkr Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan TB-14 Custom 5 Trembucker Black Pickup

The TB-14 Custom 5 is a high-output bridge humbucker engineered for guitars with wider string spacing, particularly those equipped with Floyd Rose tremolo systems. This pickup captures aggressive, articulate tone with solid midrange presence and tight low-end response, delivering clarity and definition that translates through drop-tuned and extended-range tracking—essential for modern recording sessions where every note needs to cut through the mix.

Tone & Construction

Built around an Alnico V magnet paired with a nickel silver bottom plate, the TB-14 produces punchy output with balanced harmonic content that sits well in dense arrangements. The pickup is vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic squeal, ensuring stable, noise-free recordings even under high-gain tracking and layering sessions.

Design & Specifications

Hand-crafted in Santa Barbara, California, this trembucker features F-spacing to accommodate the wider bridge string spacing of Floyd Rose–equipped guitars. The 4-conductor shielded wiring provides flexible coil-splitting and phase options for in-session tonal experimentation and mix flexibility, and the included four-conductor hookup cable enables straightforward installation and quick repositioning between takes or instrument swaps.
