Seymour Duncan alt.metal Blackouts® 6-string, Black Active Humbucker Pickup Set

Inspired by the merciless roar of alternative metal guitar tones, our active alt.metal Blackout pickups are perfect for those intricate, heavy riffs in lower tunings. Maintaining the massive crunch of our original Blackouts, alt.metal enhances the low-end tightness, while the top-end has been refined for added cut without harshness. These pickups are exceptionally quiet, clean, and maintain more of your guitar’s character than typical active pickups would, delivering richer harmonics and a broad frequency range. The alt.metal bridge retains the energy and output of the original Blackouts but emphasizes the percussive quality of palm-muted notes. The alt.metal neck ensures the perfect clean tone, while transforming with aggressive mids and increased sustain under higher gain settings.Made in the USA - Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA, factory, the alt.metal Blackout bridge humbucker features a ceramic magnet, and the alt.metal Blackout neck humbucker features an Alnico 5 magnet.
