Description
Seymour Duncan SLSD-1b Li'l Screamin' Demon Black Pickup
The SLSD-1b Li'l Screamin' Demon is a single coil-sized humbucker engineered for players seeking aggressive, articulate bridge-position tone without sacrificing the compact footprint of single coil dimensions. Its dual coil design delivers the harmonic complexity and output punch of a full humbucker while fitting seamlessly into single coil routing—making it ideal for retrofitting offset guitars, superstrats, or other instruments where traditional humbucker sizing is impossible.
Tone & Output Character
Ceramic magnets provide a bright, punchy character with pronounced midrange and cutting treble response that cuts through a dense live mix and delivers crisp articulation across the fretboard. The 13.35 kΩ DC resistance confirms this pickup's high-output nature, generating substantial signal with dynamic clarity that responds exceptionally well to overdrive and distortion—essential qualities for stage reliability and punch in the band mix.
Installation & Wiring
The pickup features a distinctive combination of slotted and Allen head screw pole pieces, allowing fine-tuned height adjustment for optimal balance between strings. A four-conductor hookup cable is included, enabling series, parallel, or split-coil wiring configurations to suit your instrument's control layout and desired tonal range.
