Description
Seymour Duncan Trembucker PA-TB2B Distortion Parallel Axis Bridge Pickup
The PA-TB2B delivers aggressive, high-output distortion tones with the precision engineering Seymour Duncan is known for. This F-spaced humbucker is engineered specifically for bridge position use on guitars with wider bridge spacing, offering the articulation and sustain that modern rock and metal players demand.
Design & Spacing
Built with Parallel Axis (PA) pole pieces at a 2 1/16" string spacing, this pickup aligns with Trembucker/F-spaced bridge configurations on guitars with 2-inch or wider bridge pin spacing. The wider pole piece spacing eliminates muddy crosstalk between strings and delivers clarity across the entire frequency range.
Tone & Output
Over-wound coils paired with a ceramic magnet generate high output suitable for tight, aggressive playing styles. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squealing, ensuring clean sustain even at high gain. The 4-conductor wiring provides flexibility for series, parallel, or split configurations depending on your electronics setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What bridge spacing does this pickup fit?
The PA-TB2B is built with a 2 1/16" string spacing and is designed for F-spaced (Trembucker) bridge positions on guitars with 2-inch or wider bridge pin spacing. Check your guitar's bridge spacing before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Is this pickup good for genres other than metal?
The PA-TB2B is specifically voiced for metal, hard rock, djent, and progressive styles with high output and aggressive character. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk applications where a cleaner, more dynamic response is needed.
What do the 4-conductor wires let me do?
The 4-conductor wiring supports series, parallel, and split configurations, giving you flexibility to wire the pickup to match your guitar's control layout and achieve different tonal voicings.
Will this pickup cause feedback or noise?
No. The pickup uses vacuum wax potting construction to eliminate microphonic feedback and squealing, ensuring clean sustain even at high gain levels.
How does this compare to the Seymour Duncan JB or DiMarzio Distortion?
The PA-TB2B is specifically engineered for F-spaced bridges with Parallel Axis pole pieces, making it ideal for guitars with wider bridge spacing. The JB Model and DiMarzio Distortion use traditional center-spaced designs and are better suited for standard bridge configurations.
