About this item

  • High-Output Humbucker - The Duncan Distortion bridge is a high-output humbucker, incorporating a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings for well-balanced rock and metal tones with rich upper midrange harmonic content.
  • Rich Tonal Pickup - The Duncan Distortion neck pickup is designed for use with the high-output bridge version, delivering smooth, fluid solo tones under high gain and bell-like clean tones.
  • Versatile Guitar Accessory - Great for hard-hitting, crunchy rhythms, and searing lead tone. Riffs are tight and percussive and lead work is fast and immediate with ultra-clear pick dynamics. A must-have for any electric guitar player.
  • Squeal-Free Performance - The Duncan Distortion is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance, ensuring your guitar playing is always clear and uninterrupted.
  • Made in the USA - Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA, factory, the Duncan Distortion uses a large ceramic bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, and 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options.

  • Product Description

    The Duncan Distortion bridge is our original high-output humbucker. It incorporates a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings to deliver well-balanced rock and metal tones that have rich upper midrange harmonic content. Great for hard-hitting, crunchy rhythms, and searing lead tone. Riffs are tight and percussive and lead work is fast and immediate with ultra-clear pick dynamics. Originally known as the SH-7 Seymourizer, the Duncan Distortion neck pickup is specifically designed for use with the matching high-output bridge version. It is hot enough to deliver smooth, fluid solo tones under high gain, while still producing bell-like clean tones. Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA, factory, the Duncan Distortion uses a large ceramic bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.

    These pick ups are not for jazz, they are not for country, they are for mayhem. Just mean sounding and with so much sustain compared to the stock. Made a 400$ guitar into now one of my faves to play in my collection.
