Seymour Duncan alt.metal Blackouts Humbucker Bridge Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan alt.metal Blackouts Humbucker Bridge Black Pickup

The Seymour Duncan alt.metal Blackouts bridge humbucker delivers the aggressive, articulate output that modern metal and hard rock players need on stage. This active humbucker cuts through dense amp saturation while maintaining note definition across the fretboard, making it reliable for precision and power in high-gain applications where every note needs to punch through the mix.

Tone & Electronics

Built as an active humbucker with a ceramic magnet, this bridge pickup generates exceptional output with remarkably low noise—a critical advantage in heavily distorted contexts where hum and hiss can quickly become problematic during live performance. The broad frequency range ensures both tight low-end response and articulate high-end detail, preventing the muddiness that passive pickups often struggle with at high gain levels.

Build & Specifications

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California by Seymour Duncan, this pickup ships with a complete electronics package including pots, installation hardware, quick-connector cables, capacitor, output jack, battery clip, and wire—everything needed for a full system installation. The passive mount configuration integrates seamlessly into standard 6-string guitar cavities.
