Description
Seymour Duncan Cory Wong Clean Machine Bridge White Pickup
The Cory Wong Clean Machine Bridge is a high-output hum-cancelling pickup engineered for articulate, defined tones with extended dynamic range. Designed in collaboration with Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong, this bridge pickup delivers 50 percent more output than its companion neck pickup while maintaining clarity and musical responsiveness across all playing dynamics. The overwound design and degaussed Alnico 5 magnets create a signature voicing that emphasizes midrange presence with a softer, more controlled treble response.
Tone & Magnetics
The degaussed Alnico 5 rod magnet is the cornerstone of this pickup's character, offering enhanced midrange articulation and a slightly softened treble attack compared to standard configurations. This magnet design preserves clarity during aggressive playing while adding harmonic complexity to cleaner tones, giving you versatility across genres and playing styles on stage.
