Seymour Duncan Black Winter, Humbucker Neck Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan Black Winter HB Neck Black Pickup

The Black Winter neck humbucker delivers aggressive, articulate high-output performance with a tight low end and pronounced presence peak that cuts through dense mixes. This is a workhorse pickup engineered for players demanding clarity and sustain without sacrificing the harmonic complexity that defines modern metal and hard rock tones. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, the Black Winter combines raw power with refined response across the frequency spectrum.

Tone & Output Character

Operating at 13.00k ohms resistance, this passive, high-output design generates substantial signal with minimal noise thanks to vacuum wax potting for squeal-free operation. The 6.35 KHz resonant peak emphasizes articulation and note definition, while the ceramic magnet provides the aggressive bite and sustain players expect from modern neck positions.

Construction & Compatibility

The all-black aesthetic features a black bottom plate, black poles, and black screws for a unified visual presentation. The four-conductor cable enables flexible wiring configurations, and the pickup is available in standard 6-string size as well as 7 and 8-string passive mount versions, making it a reliable drop-in for modern instruments across multiple platforms.
