Description
Seymour Duncan TB-11 Custom Custom Trembucker Zebra Pickup
The TB-11 Custom Custom Trembucker is built for bridge-position punch and clarity—a pickup that cuts through live mix and stage volume without losing definition. Engineered with expanded pole spacing and short legs, it fits thin-body guitars and works seamlessly with Floyd Rose and locking bridge systems. The zebra coil configuration represents classic Seymour Duncan build quality in a format that delivers bridge-position presence while keeping the tone warm and musical.
Tone & Output Character
A DC resistance of 14.4 kΩ and 5.2 kHz resonant peak create a focused, articulate voice with midrange bite that stands up in a band mix. The EQ curve of 3/7/7 (Bass/Mid/Treble) lifts the upper midrange and treble for punch and sustain while keeping the bottom end tight—essential for lead lines, modern rock, and high-gain tones where every note needs to speak clearly.
Construction & Design
Hand built in Santa Barbara, this pickup uses an Alnico II bar magnet and nickel silver bottom plate for tonal warmth and sustain. Vacuum wax potting eliminates feedback and squeal during gigging, while the four-conductor cable allows for series, parallel, and split-coil wiring options to suit your electronics and rig.
