Description
Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Scarlet Neck White Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Scarlet Neck is a ceramic humbucker engineered for precision and clarity in extended-range applications. Designed in collaboration with Arch Enemy guitarist Mark Holcomb, this neck pickup delivers articulate note definition across clean tones and mid-gain territory, making it an excellent choice for players who demand responsiveness without sacrificing sustain on stage.
Tone & Performance
Built with a ceramic magnet, this pickup emphasizes midrange clarity and controlled output, ideal for tracking individual notes in complex chord voicings during live sets. The calibration prioritizes clean and mid-gain applications, allowing the pickup to remain tight and defined rather than darkening the upper register where neck pickups typically operate—critical for gigging musicians who need consistency across different venues and amp rigs.
Compatibility & Installation
The pickup ships in a white finish and includes coil-splitting capability, giving you both humbucker and single-coil tonal options from a single unit for expanded sonic versatility during performance. Available across multiple string counts—6-string, 7-string, and 8-string configurations—this humbucker integrates seamlessly into existing electronics harnesses designed for standard Seymour Duncan specifications.
