Seymour Duncan 8-String Distortion Neck, Passive Mount, Black Metal Pickup

The Seymour Duncan 8-String Distortion Neck is engineered to deliver aggressive, articulate high-gain tones across all eight strings with tight definition and controlled sustain. This passive humbucker excels in modern metal and extended-range applications where clarity and punch are non-negotiable. Built to exacting standards in Santa Barbara, this pickup combines raw power with the refined engineering Seymour Duncan is known for.

Tone & Output Character

The 13K DCR and ceramic magnet configuration produce a high-output character ideal for distortion and heavy saturation. The design maintains articulation across the full 8-string spectrum without sacrificing note definition or low-end tightness, making it equally capable as a primary workhorse or a complementary neck position voice.

Construction & Reliability

This pickup features a nickel silver bottom plate and is vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback and squeal—critical for reliable performance in high-gain contexts and live stage use. The 4-conductor lead wire supports standard wiring schemes, while the black metal humbucker cover maintains aesthetic consistency across contemporary instrument builds and road-tested setups.
