Description
Seymour Duncan TB-10 Full Shred Trembucker Black Pickup
The TB-10 Full Shred is a high-output trembucker voiced for aggressive, articulate tone with punchy midrange and extended treble presence. This pickup delivers tight, controlled sustain and clarity across palm-muted riffs and lead work, making it essential for hard rock and metal rigs running wide-spaced tremolo systems or hardtail bridges.
Tone & Output Character
A potent 14.6 kΩ DC resistance combined with an Alnico 5 bar magnet produces aggressive output without sacrificing string definition. The 5.5 kHz resonant peak emphasizes upper midrange bite and treble snap, while the voiced EQ curve—bass 4, mids 4, treble 8—tilts the pickup toward brightness and cut, ideal for cutting through dense mixes and maintaining note separation at high gain.
Construction & Live Reliability
Built with double rows of Allen head pole pieces and a nickel-silver bottom plate, this pickup handles fast picking attack with precision and dependable on-stage performance. The trembucker spacing accommodates wider pole piece intervals designed for modern tremolo systems, while the 4-conductor shielded lead wire provides flexible wiring options and noise rejection in electrically noisy venue environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pickup compatible with my tremolo system?
Yes—the TB-10 is a trembucker with wide-spaced pole pieces designed to align with modern tremolo systems and hardtail bridges. Check your guitar's current pickup spacing; if it's already a trembucker, this will drop in cleanly.
What genres does this pickup excel at?
The TB-10 Full Shred is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, djent, and high-gain lead work. Its aggressive voicing and upper midrange emphasis suit tight, articulate playing; it's not voiced for jazz, blues, or folk applications.
What's the output and EQ character?
The TB-10 delivers 14.6 kΩ DC resistance with an EQ curve of bass 4, mids 4, treble 8—bright and aggressive. Its 5.5 kHz resonant peak emphasizes upper midrange bite and treble snap, cutting through dense mixes while maintaining note definition.
Does it require a battery or active electronics?
No. The TB-10 is a passive design with no battery or active circuitry; it works with any standard guitar wiring and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free operation.
How does the TB-10 compare to the JB or EMG 81/85?
The TB-10 sits in the same high-output, metal-focused family as the JB and EMG 81/85, but with a slightly brighter, more treble-forward voicing (treble 8) and trembucker spacing tailored for wide-spaced systems. All three deliver aggressive cut; choose based on your guitar's spacing and whether you prefer a passive or active design.
