Description
Named for the merciless winters of Scandinavia, the Black Winter set is Seymour Duncan’s answer to players who need their tone as unforgiving as their riffs. This isn’t a general-purpose humbucker dressed up for metal — it was voiced from the ground up for black metal, death metal, and anything else that lives in the underground.
- Crushing distortion with punishing midrange and heavy, controlled saturation
- Balanced low end and treble so tremolo-picked riffs stay tight and solos cut through without turning to mush
- Neck and bridge pickups calibrated together for a consistent, cohesive assault across the whole guitar
- Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA
- Available in standard 6-string sizing, plus 7- and 8-string options in passive mount with naked coils, or Active Soapbar mount with exposed pole pieces
- 4-conductor lead wire for coil-splitting, series/parallel, and other wiring setups
- Vacuum wax potted to kill microphonic squeal at high gain
This bundle also throws in a set of Ernie Ball EB2223 Super Slinky strings, so you can drop the Black Winter set in and get straight to tracking without a trip to the string drawer. Whatever tuning you’re punishing, this pairing is built to stay dark, articulate, and merciless.
