Seymour Duncan Black Winter, TB Bridge Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan Black Winter TB Bridge Black Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Black Winter Bridge is an aggressive, high-output humbucker built for players pushing hard into high-gain territory who need thick, articulate tone that cuts through without getting lost in the mix. Its custom overwound design and ceramic magnet configuration deliver a punchy, compressed response that maintains note definition even on fast picked passages and dense chord work. Built with a full black aesthetic and Trembucker pole spacing, this pickup slots directly into modern gigging and studio rigs.

Tone & Output Character

At 16.6K DC resistance, this pickup produces substantial output with a voiced EQ profile of 6 (bass) – 6 (mids) and 6 (treble), delivering a balanced yet aggressive midrange presence. The 6.68kHz resonance frequency pushes articulation into the upper-mid range, making individual notes pop while maintaining cohesive chord density—ideal for modern rock, metal, and high-gain applications.

Construction & Compatibility

Engineered with three large ceramic magnets and a custom overwound coil design, the Black Winter withstands high-gain pushing without becoming muddy or uncontrolled. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback, while the 4-wire, splittable configuration offers tonal flexibility for both series and coil-split operation on compatible guitars.
