Description
The High Voltage bridge humbucker is Seymour Duncan’s answer to players who want their amp doing the heavy lifting instead of a pedalboard full of dirt boxes. It’s rooted in vintage tone with an Alnico 2 magnet, but the winding is pushed a bit hotter than a true vintage-spec pickup, giving you extra push into breakup while keeping that classic humbucker character intact.
That extra output means your rhythm playing stays articulate even under gain — chunky chords, low-string riffing, and legato lines all come through with definition rather than mush. Dig in for leads and the pickup opens up into sustaining, vocal-like tones that beg for bends and vibrato. It’s built to cover the full spread of hard rock tone, from tight rhythm work to screaming solos, all from the same pickup.
This bridge unit is degaussed as part of a calibrated set, meaning it’s balanced against its neck counterpart for even output and a cohesive tonal relationship across positions — no dead spots or lopsided volume jumps when you switch pickups mid-song.
Finished with a classic nickel cover, it looks the part as much as it sounds it — vintage styling on the outside, a slightly more aggressive voice on the inside.
