Description
Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick Neck Humbucker White Pickup
The Alex Skolnick Neck Humbucker sits perfectly in the neck position for players who demand clarity and balance in a dual-humbucker setup. With its warm, articulate response and vintage character, this pickup won't disappear in the mix or get buried under a bridge pickup's aggression—it stays defined and musical. The lower-output voicing prioritizes string separation and sustained notes across the fretboard, giving you the dynamic responsiveness needed for both clean tones and overdriven leads on stage.
Tone & Output Character
At 7.86 kΩ DC resistance, this neck pickup maintains vintage voicing with controlled output that keeps articulation alive and prevents the lower register from turning muddy. The Alnico 5 rough cast magnet delivers smooth, organic sustain with natural harmonic bloom—it responds to your pick attack and finger vibrato without sacrificing the clarity you need to cut through a live mix.
Design & Specifications
Hand-wound in Santa Barbara, California by Seymour Duncan, this pickup features a four-conductor cable for flexible wiring options and series/parallel configurations. The white finish offers a distinctive look against standard black or cream alternatives while delivering identical performance and reliability you can count on night after night.
