Frequently Asked Questions
What's the reversed magnet phase, and how does it change the tone?
The reversed magnet configuration inverts the polarity of the magnets compared to standard humbuckers, creating a unique tonal signature with enhanced articulation and reduced mud. This design is particularly effective in the neck position for precision-focused and aggressive playing styles.
Will this neck pickup work well for jazz, progressive, and hard rock?
Yes—the Green Magic is specifically voiced for progressive, hard rock, and jazz applications. Its balanced articulation and vintage output sit well in these genres, though it is not recommended for thrash metal or drop-tuning work.
What does 4-conductor wiring give me?
4-conductor wiring enables coil-splitting and other custom wiring configurations on compatible guitar electronics, giving you tonal flexibility beyond standard humbucker operation.
What's the output level, and will it match other pickups in my guitar?
The Green Magic is rated at 7.7k DCR with vintage-output response. Pairing it with a bridge pickup in the same output range will balance your guitar's overall voicing across both positions.
Is this pickup made in the USA?
Yes, the Green Magic is hand-built in California by Seymour Duncan.
