Description
Seymour Duncan MortalCoil Neck Black Pickup
The MortalCoil Neck is a three-voice active humbucker system engineered to deliver articulate, controlled output without sacrificing dynamic range. High-density copper coils paired with an all-new low-distortion preamp make this pickup responsive to pick attack and finger dynamics while maintaining clarity across all frequency ranges. On stage, it cuts through without mud, tracks fast picking cleanly, and stays composed under driven tones—ideal for gigging musicians and working players who need a neck pickup they can trust night after night.
Design & Construction
Built with high-density copper coils and a carefully voiced preamp circuit, the MortalCoil achieves low-distortion operation across its entire frequency spectrum. The three-voice architecture lets you dial in your neck tone from warm and focused to bright and articulate without swapping pickups mid-set.
Tone & Performance
The all-new low-distortion preamp maintains signal integrity and responsiveness, so articulate chord work and single-note lines register with precision live. This pickup excels at clean tones and driven applications where definition matters—it won't compress or lose definition under gain and stays tight in the low end, keeping your tone locked even in loud band contexts.
