Description

Seymour Duncan RTM DeMartini TB Reverse Zebra Pickup

The RTM DeMartini TB Reverse Zebra is a high-output bridge humbucker engineered for modern extended-range instruments, delivering aggressive articulation and tight low-end response. This pickup punches through dense mixes with clarity and aggression, making it ideal for metal and hard rock applications where definition matters as much as sheer volume.

Tone & Output Character

Built with an Alnico 2 magnet, this pickup generates substantial output while maintaining dynamic responsiveness across the frequency spectrum. The high-output design excels at maintaining note separation and harmonic complexity even with heavy distortion, a critical asset for rhythm work and fast lead passages on stage.

Design & Specifications

The TB (Trembucker) spacing accommodates the wider string-to-string distances found on 7-string instruments, ensuring consistent magnetic field alignment across all strings. The Reverse Zebra aesthetic combines cream and black coil windings for classic visual appeal without compromising electromagnetic performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Trembucker spacing and why does it matter?

Trembucker (TB) spacing is wider than standard humbucker spacing, designed to align the magnetic field with the wider string-to-string distances on 7-string guitars. This ensures consistent response across all strings rather than uneven output on the outer strings.

Is this pickup suitable for drop tunings and extended-range instruments?

Yes. The RTM DeMartini TB is engineered specifically for 7-string guitars and modern extended-range instruments, with an Alnico 2 magnet and high-output design that handles lower tunings while maintaining tight, defined low-end response.

Will this pickup stay clear under heavy distortion?

Yes. The pickup maintains note separation and harmonic complexity even with heavy distortion applied, making it ideal for rhythm work and fast lead passages where definition matters in dense mixes.

What genres is this pickup best suited for?

This pickup is designed for metal, hard rock, and djent—genres where aggressive articulation, clarity under gain, and tight low-end response are critical. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk applications.

How does the Reverse Zebra aesthetic affect the pickup's tone?

The Reverse Zebra cosmetics are a visual choice combining cream and black coil windings; they do not compromise electromagnetic performance or tone. The actual tonal character comes from the Alnico 2 magnet and high-output design.

Do I pay sales tax on this order?

Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $10 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
