Seymour Duncan TB-5 Duncan Custom Trembkr Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan TB-5 Duncan Custom Trembucker Zebra Pickup

The TB-5 Duncan Custom Trembucker is a focused, articulate high-output bridge pickup built for 6-string guitars with tremolo systems. On stage or in the studio, it cuts through a mix with clarity and punch while maintaining definition across the frequency spectrum—a signature Seymour Duncan character built for players who demand aggression without losing note definition.

Tone & Electronics

With a 14.1 kΩ DC resistance and a 6 kHz resonant peak, this pickup emphasizes upper midrange presence while keeping the lows tight and controlled. The EQ voicing—7 Bass / 6 Mid / 9 Treble—skews bright and aggressive, making it a go-to for rock, metal, and high-gain tones where every note reads clearly.

Design & Build

The TB-5 ships in Seymour Duncan's signature zebra coil pattern and features a nickel silver bottom plate. Built with trembucker spacing to match the wider string configuration of floating bridge systems, it includes vacuum wax potting to eliminate microphonic feedback—squeal-free performance at any volume, whether you're in a small room or pushing through a loud stage.
