Seymour Duncan Billy Gibbons' Red Devil Bridge Parchment Pickup
This bridge position pickup captures the thick, expressive tone that defined Billy Gibbons' legendary riff work—muscular midrange and articulate sustain in a compact single-coil format that cuts through a live mix and sustains for days. The parchment finish delivers distinctive vintage character while the robust construction handles heavy blues-rock rhythms and searing lead passages night after night. Built to exacting standards by Seymour Duncan, this pickup gets you that unmistakable Texas blues voice on stage and in the studio.
Tone & Electronics
The Alnico 5 magnet produces a warm, full-bodied response with pronounced midrange character and natural breakup that responds beautifully to overdrive and distortion pedals. A DCR of 13.95 positions this pickup in the medium-output range, balancing articulation with grit—ideal for bridge position work where you need clarity and presence without losing definition in a band context.
