Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick Humbucker Black Pickup Set

The Alex Skolnick Humbucker Set delivers a balanced pairing of bridge and neck pickups engineered for players seeking articulate midrange punch without sacrificing vintage warmth. Designed in collaboration with Testament's lead guitarist, these Alnico 5 humbuckers excel across high-gain and classic rock applications, offering clarity that cuts through dense arrangements while maintaining responsive dynamics under the pick.

Tone & Output Character

The bridge pickup operates at 17.7 kΩ DC resistance with voicing that emphasizes punchy midrange and rich harmonics—ideal for lead work and aggressive rhythm playing. The neck pickup sits at a lower 7.86 kΩ DC resistance with vintage PAF-style character and Alnico V magnet construction, providing warm, singing sustain for lead passages and clean tonal definition.

Construction & Specifications

Both pickups feature Alnico 5 rough cast magnets and four-conductor wiring for flexible coil-splitting and phase options. Each unit is handmade in Santa Barbara, California, ensuring consistent quality and attention to detail in every set.
