Seymour Duncan Hades Gates Bridge Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan Hades Gates Bridge Zebra Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Hades Gates Bridge delivers aggressive, articulate response with the visual appeal of classic zebra coil windings. This high-output bridge pickup cuts through on stage in modern rock and metal settings where clarity and sustain define your tone, offering the aggressive character you need from a purpose-built bridge position design.

Tone & Output Character

Built with an overwound Alnico 2 magnet and a bridge DC resistance of 8.8K, this pickup produces high output with pronounced midrange definition and tight low-end response that holds up under heavily distorted tones and cleans up responsively when you back off the gain. The Alnico 2 construction delivers warmth underneath the aggression, keeping your rig from getting thin or harsh at high volumes.

Design & Construction

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, the Hades Gates features short mounting legs for drop-in compatibility with most standard bridge cavities and comes equipped with a 4-conductor shielded cable that enables series, parallel, and split-coil wiring configurations. The zebra coil pattern is both functional and visually striking through any body cavity cutaway, standing out on stage or in the studio.
