Description
This is the Trembucker take on the Duncan Distortion — same ferocious ceramic-magnet humbucker Seymour built for players who need serious gain without losing note definition, just wound with ‘F’ spacing to line up correctly with Fender-style tremolo bridges and post-1999 Gibson instruments.
Under the zebra bobbins sits a big ceramic magnet paired with hot coil windings, the combination that gives this pickup its trademark high-output snarl. It’s a bridge pickup designed for players chasing old school metal, nu-metal, gothic, garage punk, and thrash tones, and it holds up especially well in drop tunings where lesser pickups turn to mush. Compared to the SH-5 Duncan Custom, the Distortion pushes further into aggressive territory while still keeping enough clarity that chords don’t collapse into noise.
- Ceramic magnet with hot-wound coils for high output
- Four-conductor hookup cable for coil-splitting and phase options
- Available in both neck and bridge versions
- ‘F’-spaced Trembucker sizing for tremolo-equipped and Fender-spaced guitars
A common pairing is this Distortion in the bridge with an SH-2n Jazz Model up front — the Jazz Model handles clean and articulate lead tones while the Distortion covers the heavy rhythm work, giving you a genuinely versatile two-pickup setup.
