Description
Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick Humbucker Zebra Pickup Set
The Alex Skolnick Humbucker Set delivers the articulate, high-output character that defined Testament's guitarist's signature tone. These zebra-coil humbuckers balance aggressive sustain with clarity and note definition, making them equally at home in heavy riffing and complex soloing contexts. Built with Alnico V magnets and hand-crafted in the USA, this set represents serious hardware for players pursuing professional-grade tone.
Tone & Output Characteristics
The neck pickup operates at 7.86 kOhm DC resistance with high-output voicing, delivering warm fundamentals without sacrificing articulation. The bridge humbucker measures 17.7 kOhm, providing aggressive bite and sustain ideal for lead work and palm-muted aggression while maintaining harmonic clarity across the frequency range.
Design & Construction
Both pickups feature Alnico V magnet construction, a material choice that ensures strong magnetic field strength and extended frequency response. The set includes a shielded 4-core connection cable, eliminating the need for aftermarket wiring solutions and reducing noise interference in high-gain applications.
