Description
Seymour Duncan High Voltage TB Black Pickup
The Seymour Duncan High Voltage TB is a bridge-position trembucker engineered for players demanding aggressive, articulate output without sacrificing note clarity. This Alnico II-magnet design delivers the high-output character the High Voltage line is known for, while the trembucker footprint accommodates wide bridge spacing on modern guitar designs. On stage, this pickup cuts through dense mixes with defined attack and sustained presence that holds its own in loud band contexts.
Tone & Output Characteristics
At 9.37k DCR, this pickup sits in the high-output zone, producing aggressive midrange bite and powerful harmonic content ideal for rock, metal, and heavier genres. The Alnico II magnet provides warmth and musicality beneath the output level, preventing the brightness from becoming shrill and maintaining separation across the frequency spectrum. Live, the balance means your lead lines stay clear and your rhythm tones stay punchy even in packed venues.
Design & Specifications
Built in the United States, this trembucker features a 4-conductor winding configuration that enables flexible wiring options including series, parallel, and split-coil configurations. The matched design integrates seamlessly into bridge positions on 6-string guitars equipped with tremolo systems, making it reliable for touring and regular gigging use.
