Seymour Duncan Black Winter set 8-String Pickup

These pickups are purpose-built for 8-string guitars with tuned resonant peaks (6.35 kHz neck, 6.68 kHz bridge) that maintain articulation and clarity across extended lower tunings. The 6/6/6 EQ curve and controlled low end eliminate mud and feedback while preserving aggressive midrange presence—critical for modern metal and djent playing.

The neck pickup measures 13.00 kΩ DC resistance with higher output suited for lower strings, while the bridge sits at 16.60 kΩ for added aggression and sustain. Both deliver high output without the feedback issues common in passive extended-range systems.

Yes. The 4-conductor wiring supports series, parallel, and split configurations, allowing you to switch tones within your rig or design custom switching for different songs and tunings.

These pickups excel in metal, djent, progressive, and any style requiring drop tunings and extended range. They are not recommended for jazz, blues, or country applications where you need smoother, more dynamic response.

Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, delivering a tight, squeal-free response essential for high-gain modern metal and studio recording on extended-range guitars.
