Seymour Duncan High Voltage Neck Reverse Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan High Voltage Neck Reverse Zebra Pickup

The High Voltage Neck delivers aggressive, articulate response with a characteristically hot output that cuts through dense live mixes and driven amp settings. This reverse zebra humbucker excels in modern rock, metal, and high-gain applications where clarity and sustain matter as much as raw power. The neck position voicing balances punch with definition, avoiding mud even at extreme gain levels—essential for stage reliability when your tone needs to compete with a full band.

Tone & Electronics

Built on an Alnico 2 magnet, this pickup produces warm harmonic complexity underneath its aggressive character—a signature Seymour Duncan trait that prevents harshness in sustained notes and prolonged sets. The 7.68k output sits well above standard neck pickups, delivering the volume and compression needed to stand equal with bridge humbucker pairs or function as a lead voice in dual-humbucker configurations, making it dependable for gigging musicians who swap between rhythm and solo duties.

Construction & Wiring

Hand-built in California to exacting standards, the pickup ships with a 4-conductor shielded cable enabling coil-splitting and series/parallel switching if your guitar's electronics support it. The reverse zebra coil configuration—alternating magnet and coil pole pieces—reduces inductance for snappier transient response compared to traditional designs, translating to tighter, more controlled feel under your fingers and sharper attack in a live context.
