Description
Seymour Duncan Green Magic Humbucker Bridge Zebra Pickup
The Green Magic bridge humbucker cuts through a live mix with articulate, focused output and enough midrange presence to keep your notes definition-sharp even in dense arrangements. Built on an Alnico II magnet platform, this pickup balances warmth with clarity—a versatile bridge voice that holds its own in high-gain rigs and moderate-gain setups alike. The zebra coil configuration delivers visual distinction while keeping the tonal characteristics Seymour Duncan engineered into this design intact.
Tonal Profile & Output
An 8.7k DC resistance sits in the moderate-to-hot range, giving you punchy attack without the harshness that can bury a performance. The Alnico II magnet structure preserves harmonic complexity across the frequency spectrum, so individual notes stay audible even in compressed or heavily processed signal chains—critical for stage reliability.
Construction & Specifications
Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, California, this 6-string humbucker features a 4-conductor wiring scheme for flexible coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring options. The zebra coil aesthetic—alternating nickel-silver and black bobbins—provides distinctive visual character without compromising electromagnetic performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Alnico II magnet choice important for this pickup?
Alnico II preserves harmonic complexity across the frequency spectrum, allowing individual notes to remain audible even in compressed or heavily processed signal chains—essential for dense mixes and high-gain contexts. This magnet balances warmth with clarity, avoiding the harshness that can come with hotter pickups.
Can I split the coils or rewire this pickup for different tones?
Yes—the 4-conductor wiring scheme supports coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring options, giving you flexibility to adapt the pickup to virtually any pickup cavity and control configuration for tonal variation.
Is this pickup suitable for jazz or blues playing?
The Green Magic is engineered for hard rock, metal, and progressive applications. While its moderate-to-hot output and articulate character work well in high-gain and moderate-gain contexts, it's not voiced for jazz or traditional blues tones.
What is the DC resistance, and does that affect output level?
The pickup has 8.7k DC resistance, positioning it in the moderate-to-hot range—yielding punchy attack without excessive harshness and providing enough output to cut through dense mixes while maintaining note definition.
What is the zebra coil configuration?
The zebra design alternates nickel-silver and black bobbins for distinctive visual character. This aesthetic choice does not compromise electromagnetic performance—the tonal characteristics remain exactly as engineered.
