Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick Neck Humbucker Gold Cover Pickup

Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick Neck Humbucker Gold Cover Pickup

The Alex Skolnick Neck Humbucker delivers articulate, singing sustain with a warm midrange that cuts on stage in both clean and overdriven contexts. Designed in collaboration with Testament's lead guitarist, this pickup balances clarity and output without sacrificing note definition in the neck position. It's built for players who need versatility across genres while keeping a focused, controlled tone that projects live.

Tone & Output Characteristics

This neck-position humbucker produces a moderately hot output with emphasis on midrange clarity and harmonic complexity. The voicing cuts through at volume while remaining articulate at lower gains, making it equally effective for jazz voicings, hard rock rhythm work, and lead passages that require definition from the stage to the back row.

Construction & Specifications

Hand-crafted with Alnico V magnets and custom-wound coils, the pickup features a gold cover for a classic aesthetic. The standard humbucker format with four-conductor wiring allows for coil-split capabilities and hum-cancelling operation in traditional configurations.
