Description
Seymour Duncan TB-11 Custom Custom Trembucker Black Pickup
The TB-11 Custom Custom Trembucker delivers aggressive, articulate output with a focused midrange punch that cuts through dense mixes without sacrificing clarity. Built for bridge positions on guitars with tremolo systems or wide string spacing, this pickup combines Seymour Duncan's meticulous handcrafting with purposeful voicing for modern rock, metal, and alternative styles.
Tone & Output Character
A high-output design with 7 dB mid-range presence gives this pickup its signature aggression and definition. The 5.2 kHz resonant peak emphasizes articulation and sustain, making individual notes pop while maintaining tight low-end response—ideal for both clean articulation and saturated gain textures.
Design & Compatibility
Engineered specifically as a Trembucker with wider string spacing for guitars with Floyd Rose or traditional tremolo bridges, this pickup includes short legs to accommodate thinner body cavities common on high-end shred instruments. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring stable performance under aggressive playing or heavy effects processing.
Key Features
- DC Resistance: 14.4 kΩ for high-output character
- Trembucker spaced for guitars with tremolo bridges or string spacing over 2"
- Alnico 2 bar magnet for warm, responsive magnetic field
- Nickel silver bottom plate for tonal clarity and structural integrity
- 4-conductor lead wire for wiring flexibility and coil-split capability
- Vacuum wax potted for squeal-free, stable performance
- Short legs designed to fit thinner bodies and Floyd Rose-equipped guitars
- EQ Profile: Bass 3 / Mid 7 / Treble 7 for punchy, articulate response
- High-output design with aggressive presence and sustain
- Handmade in Santa Barbara, California
- 5.2 kHz resonant peak for enhanced articulation and definition
A purpose-built bridge pickup for stage performance: aggressive output, wide string spacing compatibility, and the construction quality Seymour Duncan is known for—ready to handle the demands of live gigging and studio tracking.
