Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick Neck Humbucker Black Pickup

This pickup uses Alnico V magnets in a PAF-style configuration and is designed specifically by Alex Skolnick to prioritize articulation and tonal clarity over high-gain saturation. The 7.86k ohms DC resistance provides natural compression and smooth response across the frequency spectrum, making it equally responsive for clean and driven tones.

Yes, it features four-conductor wiring, which allows you to wire in coil-splitting and series/parallel switching options if your guitar's electronics and amp support them. This gives you flexibility to reshape your tone beyond the standard humbucker voice.

This is a neck pickup with 7.86k ohms DC resistance, designed to deliver articulate lead and rhythm tones in the neck position. Seymour Duncan offers a matching bridge version if you want a coordinated pair.

It is hand-assembled in Santa Barbara, California, and features a black cover for electromagnetic shielding and aesthetics.
