Seymour Duncan Hades Gates TB Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan Hades Gates TB Black Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Hades Gates TB Black delivers articulate, aggressive high-output character with tight low-end definition and clarity at volume. This neck and bridge set pairs Alnico 2 magnets with hand-built construction to produce a balanced humbucker voice that cuts through dense mixes without losing definition. These pickups excel in modern rock, metal, and high-gain applications where precision and punch matter equally.

Tone & Construction

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, this set uses Alnico 2 magnets to shape a focused, responsive tonal character. The neck position reads 8.06K DC resistance while the bridge sits at 8.8K, providing consistent output across the set with slight bridge emphasis for articulation and sustain.

Electronics & Installation

4-conductor wiring enables coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring options for tonal flexibility beyond standard humbucker operation. Short mounting legs accommodate standard Gibson-style pickup cavities with straightforward installation and secure seating.
