Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor Bridge Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor Bridge Black Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor bridge pickup is built for stage-ready aggression and clarity. Designed in collaboration with Metallica's Dave Mustaine, this pickup delivers the cutting presence and note articulation needed to cut through a mix on a live stage. High output pairs with responsive treble and midrange punch that keeps rhythm work tight and lead lines defined, even at volume.

Tone & Output Character

An Alnico V magnet paired with a 16.4 kΩ DC resistance generates hot output with natural harmonic richness and controlled aggression. The 7.916 H inductance shapes the frequency response for cutting presence and articulate picking attack, essential for navigating complex chord progressions and fast technical passages.

Construction & Installation

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup features a four-conductor cable for wiring flexibility and standard string spacing for seamless compatibility with most modern bridge configurations. The build quality reflects Seymour Duncan's attention to detail and consistency in every unit.
