Description
Seymour Duncan Green Magic Humbucker Bridge Reverse Zebra Pickup
The Green Magic Bridge delivers a balanced, articulate response that bridges vintage warmth with modern clarity—a versatile performer that sits naturally in mid-gain and high-gain contexts without losing note definition. Its Alnico II magnet structure yields smooth harmonic complexity and responsive dynamics, making it equally at home in blues-rock, hard rock, and modern metal applications. This is a pickup engineered for players who value controlled output and tonal nuance over sheer aggression.
Tone & Output Character
At 8.7k DCR, this bridge model sits in the vintage output range, providing natural breakup and sustain without sacrificing string articulation or dynamic responsiveness. The Alnico II magnet yields warm, musical compression with clear midrange presence—ideal for leads that cut through a mix while maintaining organic feel on stage.
Installation & Compatibility
Built as a standard humbucker mount with 4-conductor wiring, the Green Magic drops into most guitars and supports coil-split or phase options if your electronics are configured for it. The reverse zebra coil configuration provides subtle tonal character while maintaining the classic humbucker form factor for reliable, trouble-free gigging.
