Seymour Duncan Holcomb Scarlet Neck Matte Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Scarlet Neck Humbucker — Matte Black

The Mark Holcomb Scarlet neck pickup delivers aggressive high-output clarity without sacrificing articulation in the neck position. Designed in collaboration with Periphery's Mark Holcomb, this pickup balances aggression with definition—a neck pickup engineered for modern metal, progressive, and high-gain applications where clarity and cut through dense amp settings are essential for stage presence.

Tone & Output Characteristics

Ceramic magnets and a 7.56k DCR output generate punchy midrange presence and controlled sustain that sits well in saturation and gain-stacked tones. On stage, the neck positioning ensures articulate upper-register definition and smooth lead work that punches through without muddiness even under heavy distortion and live volume demands.

Construction & Wiring

4-conductor shielded cable enables flexible wiring options—coil-split, series/parallel switching, or standard dual-coil operation depending on your guitar's electronics. Every unit is handmade in Santa Barbara, California, reflecting Seymour Duncan's attention to build consistency and quality control for road-ready reliability.
