Description
Seymour Duncan Billy Gibbons' Red Devil Bridge White Pickup
This single coil sized humbucker delivers the thick, articulate midrange and sustain that defined Billy Gibbons' legendary tone without requiring routing or modification to standard Stratocaster bodies. The medium output character strikes a balance between clarity and natural breakup, responding dynamically to pick attack while maintaining definition across the frequency spectrum.
Tone & Construction
The Alnico 5 magnet structure combined with 13.95 ohms DC resistance produces a warm yet punchy response suited to blues-rock and classic rock applications. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback, ensuring squeal-free performance at any volume level—essential for reliable stage use where feedback can derail your set.
Installation & Wiring
A four conductor shielded cable provides flexible wiring options for series, parallel, or split configurations depending on your circuit needs. The pickup is designed for drop-in installation in the bridge position of S-style (Stratocaster) guitars, making it a straightforward swap that keeps your instrument road-ready without downtime.
