Seymour Duncan Hades Gates Bridge Nickel Pickup

Seymour Duncan Hades Gates Bridge Nickel Pickup

The Hades Gates Bridge delivers aggressive, articulate output with the tight low-end response and clear note definition that high-gain players demand. This overwound bridge pickup cuts through dense mixes with precision, making it ideal for metal and hard rock applications where clarity and aggression must coexist on stage.

Tone & Output Character

Built with an Alnico 2 bar magnet and overwound construction, this pickup generates substantial midrange punch and aggressive treble response suited to heavily distorted applications. The 8.8K DC resistance positions it in the high-output range, delivering the sustain and saturation expected in modern metal tones without sacrificing articulation—essential for holding definition in live venues and recordings.

Design & Build Quality

Hand built in Santa Barbara, California, each pickup reflects Seymour Duncan's commitment to quality control and consistency. The nickel finish resists corrosion while the short mounting legs accommodate various bridge cavity depths, and 4-conductor wiring enables flexible coil-tapping configurations for tonal versatility across your rig.
