Description
The Green Magic story starts with a happy mistake: a late-60s blues rock guitarist ended up with his signature tone because a tech installed a pickup magnet backwards. Seymour Duncan built a set around that accident, and this is the bridge half of it, dressed in a gold cover.
On its own, the Green Magic bridge pickup does exactly what a vintage-voiced humbucker should — warm, articulate PAF-style growl with plenty of bite for leads and rhythm work alike. It’s only when you bring the matching Green Magic neck pickup into the picture that the real magic happens.
- Vintage-voiced humbucker tone in the bridge position
- Gold cover for a classic, understated look
- Designed as the bridge counterpart to the Green Magic neck pickup
- Combined with the reversed-magnet neck unit, the two go out of phase, unlocking single-coil-like clarity and quack in the middle position
If you want the full vintage-to-supernatural range — thick humbucker tones individually, and something closer to strat-like sparkle when you blend them — this bridge pickup is the piece that starts the set. Pair it with its neck counterpart to complete the effect and give your guitar a genuinely wider tonal palette.
