Seymour Duncan Black Winter bridge 7-String Pickup

Seymour Duncan Black Winter Bridge 7-String Pickup

The Black Winter bridge pickup delivers aggressive, articulate output with tight low-end definition and cutting high-mids—a signature characteristic of Seymour Duncan's high-output design. Built for 7-string instruments, this pickup excels in heavy music genres where clarity and sustain matter as much as sheer gain. The uncovered coil construction gives it a distinctive visual presence while contributing to its direct, uncolored sonic character.

Tone & Output Character

Three large ceramic magnets paired with a custom overwound coil design produce aggressive output and tight bass response without sacrificing articulation across the frequency spectrum. The vacuum wax potting ensures squeal-free operation even at high gain levels, critical for modern extended-range playing where feedback control is essential.

Construction & Wiring Flexibility

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, this pickup features 4-conductor lead wires that allow multiple wiring configurations to suit different control schemes and tonal preferences. The uncovered coil design provides visual authenticity while the robust construction handles the demands of aggressive playing styles and consistent stage use.
