Description
Seymour Duncan TB-14 Custom 5 Trembkr White Pickup
The TB-14 Custom 5 is engineered for bridge-position recording and mixing scenarios where you need aggressive high-output punch with controlled clarity. This Trembucker-spaced pickup combines Seymour Duncan's meticulous craftsmanship with a focused frequency response that cuts through dense mix environments without sacrificing note definition—critical for capturing articulate, present tones that sit well in post-production work.
Tone & Output Character
Built with an Alnico 5 bar magnet and dual coil design, the TB-14 produces high-power output while maintaining hum-cancelling performance for noise-free recording sessions. The 14.8 kΩ DC resistance sits in the sweet spot for aggressive rock and metal productions—present enough for saturation without becoming muddy or losing the articulation needed during mixing and layering.
Construction & Reliability
Hand-assembled in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup features a nickel silver bottom plate and vacuum wax potting for superior durability and consistent performance across temperature and humidity changes in any studio environment. The included 4-conductor lead wire and four-conductor hookup cable provide flexible wiring options for series, parallel, or split-coil configurations, allowing you to adapt the pickup's character to different tracking scenarios and production needs.
