Seymour Duncan Holcomb Scourge Bridge 8-String White Pickup

The Holcomb Scourge is a high-output bridge humbucker engineered for extended-range 8-string instruments, delivering aggressive articulation and clarity across heavy tunings. Designed in collaboration with Zack Hommer of Whitechapel, this pickup excels in modern metal and extreme genres where definition matters even at crushing volumes—a reliable choice for players who demand both punch and precision on stage and in the studio.

Tone & Output Characteristics

Powered by an Alnico 8 magnet, the Scourge produces a punchy, compressed attack with tight low-end response and articulate upper mids—ideal for fast palm-muted riffs and rapid single-note work. The 11.06 kOhm DC resistance ensures aggressive output without sacrificing string-to-string clarity across all eight strings, keeping your playing cut through a dense mix.

Electronics & Installation

The pickup features 4-conductor wiring plus shield, allowing flexible wiring options including series, parallel, and split configurations to fine-tune your tonal palette. Standard bridge-position mounting makes integration straightforward on compatible 8-string platforms, so you can get this pickup working for your rig without complications.
