Description
If you’ve got a tremolo-equipped or Fender-spaced guitar and you crave the legendary Duncan Distortion tone, this is the pickup that finally fits. The Trembucker version uses wider ‘F’ pole spacing so every string sits directly under a magnet, giving you the same ferocious output as the original bridge humbucker but tailored for Floyd Rose systems, Strat-style routs, and post-1999 Gibsons that need the extra spread.
Under the reverse zebra bobbins sits a ceramic magnet paired with hot coil windings—this combination is what gives the Duncan Distortion its trademark punch. It pushes harder than Seymour’s own SH-5 Custom, staying tight and articulate even under heavy gain, aggressive palm muting, and drop-tuned riffing. Old school metal, thrash, nu-metal, gothic rock, garage punk—this pickup was engineered around that heavier end of the spectrum without turning to mush or losing note definition.
- F-spaced Trembucker for bridge position, ideal for tremolo-bridge and Fender-spaced guitars
- Ceramic magnet with hot-wound coils for high output and cutting clarity
- Reverse zebra bobbin finish
- Four-conductor hookup wiring for coil-split or series/parallel options
Want a full setup that covers both rhythm and lead duties? Plenty of players drop this into the bridge and run an SH-2n Jazz Model up in the neck—giving you crushing distortion when you need it and cleaner, more articulate tones when you back off the gain.
