Description
The Duncan Distortion Trembucker takes Seymour Duncan’s legendary high-output bridge humbucker and widens the pole spacing to the ‘F’ (Fender) standard, making it the go-to choice for trem-equipped guitars, Fender-spaced builds, and post-1999 Gibson instruments that need that wider string spread.
Under the hood sits a massive ceramic magnet paired with hot coil windings, the combination that gives this pickup its trademark punch. It’s voiced for players chasing old school metal, nu-metal, gothic, garage, punk, and thrash tones, and it handles drop tunings without losing definition. Despite the aggressive output, the Distortion holds onto note clarity better than you’d expect from something this hot — power chords stay tight, leads cut without smearing, and the low end stays controlled even when you’re hitting it hard.
- Ceramic magnet, hot-wound coils for high output
- ‘F’ spaced (Trembucker) pole configuration for trem bridges and Fender-spaced guitars
- Four-conductor hookup cable included
- More aggressive voicing than the SH-5 Duncan Custom
- Available in bridge position; often paired with an SH-2n Jazz Model in the neck for clean/lead versatility
If your rig demands raw distorted rock sound without sacrificing articulation, this is the bridge pickup that delivers both in one package.
