Seymour Duncan Holcomb Scourge Bridge Matte Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan Holcomb Scourge Bridge Matte Black Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Scourge Bridge delivers articulate, high-output aggression designed for extended-range instruments and modern metal applications. This signature pickup balances precision articulation with crushing sustain, maintaining clarity across complex chord work and dynamic picking techniques. The matte black finish and pro-level construction mark it as gear built to withstand the demands of touring and studio work at the highest levels.

Tone & Output Character

With a high output category and Alnico 8 magnet, this bridge pickup generates punchy midrange definition and extended harmonic complexity rather than pure brute force. The 77.0 dB bridge output with 11.06 kΩ DCR provides aggressive gain without sacrificing note separation, while the tuned EQ curve—bass at 4.8, mids at 4.5, and treble at 8.5—emphasizes upper-midrange presence and articulation that cuts through on stage and handles palm-muted passages with definition.

Construction & Specifications

Handmade in Santa Barbara, California, this passive pickup features a 4-conductor cable for flexible wiring options and coil-tap capability. The robust construction and refined manufacturing ensure consistent performance and reliability in professional touring and studio environments.
