Seymour Duncan TB-12 Scrmn' Demon Trmbkr Reverse Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan TB-12 Screamin' Demon Trembucker Reverse Zebra Pickup

The TB-12 Screamin' Demon is a bridge humbucker purpose-built for tremolo-equipped guitars, delivering aggressive high-end punch with a tight low-end foundation. Its slightly overwound coils and Alnico 5 magnet produce a focused, cutting tone that powers through dense stage mixes without losing definition—ideal for hard rock and metal players who need clarity, sustain, and reliable performance night after night.

Tone & Output Character

This medium-output humbucker emphasizes upper midrange and treble with an EQ profile of 5/4/9 (Bass/Mid/Treble), delivering screaming leads and punchy rhythm work that sits well in a live band context. The 7 kHz resonant peak ensures presence and articulation across gain levels, while the 10.9k Ohm DC resistance balances aggression with musical clarity for both studio and stage use.

Design & Specifications

Engineered as a Trembucker with wider pole piece spacing, this pickup accommodates the string offset created by tremolo bridges, ensuring even response across all strings without dead spots. The mixed pole piece configuration—one row of standard adjustable screws paired with Allen head screws—provides precise fine-tuning for dialing in your exact tone, while vacuum wax potting eliminates feedback and squealing under high gain during live performance.
