Description
Seymour Duncan Hades Gates Neck RevZebra Pickup
The Hades Gates Neck RevZebra is a high-output humbucker designed to cut through live mix with aggressive, articulate tones and exceptional clarity in the neck position. Built by Seymour Duncan in their Santa Barbara shop, this pickup combines overwound construction with refined magnetic design for players who need both power and definition—keeping every note defined even at high gain and stage volume.
Tone & Output Character
The Alnico 2 magnets paired with overwound coils generate substantial output while maintaining tight, focused response across the frequency spectrum. This configuration produces thick lows and punchy mids ideal for modern metal, hard rock, and high-gain applications where articulation matters as much as sheer volume—essential when your tone needs to sit locked in a dense band mix.
Design & Construction
Four-conductor wiring enables flexible switching options and coil-splitting capability when paired with appropriate electronics. The short mounting legs accommodate various guitar bridge geometries while the 4-conductor shielded cable ensures clean signal transmission with minimal noise interference—critical for reliable stage performance and dependable gigging.
