## Overview

The Seymour Duncan Black Winter Set Humbucker delivers brutally high output and aggressive tonal clarity tailored for extreme metal guitarists. Featuring ceramic magnets and hand-built craftsmanship, these pickups offer a perfectly balanced neck and bridge pair with versatile 4-conductor wiring for multiple tonal configurations. Vacuum wax potted for squeal-free operation, the Black Winter is your ultimate weapon for crushing distortion, cutting solos, and gritty, vintage-inspired aggression.

## Description

The Black Winter is as dark and vicious as the winters in Scandinavia with excessive grime and aggression; the right balance of midst, treble and bass to instantly take you from annihilating riffs to solos with cutting articulation. The Black Winter fills the needs of extreme metal guitarists with a tone that provides crushing distortion, punishing midst and lots of aggressive saturation and string sensitivity. Neck and bridge pickups are calibrated for a balanced assault. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, we offer the Black Winter in standard 6-string size, as well as 7 & 8 string passive mount with naked coils (or in Active 'Soap bar' Mount with exposed pole pieces). Comes with 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal free operation.

Review: Fantastici pickup, diversi da come pensavo ma in meglio - Fantastico set di pickup che mi ha sorpreso in positivo superando molte aspettative. .Output veramente molto alto, nettamente superiore a molti altri pickup moderni heavy che possiedo .Il pickup al manico è lo stesso pickup presente al ponte però reversed .I due single coil che compongono l humbucker hanno voci ed impasti molto diversi l'una dall altra, prima volta che mi trovo in possibilità di usare veramente lo split con una delle due bobine e cambiare tanto il suono rimanendo comunque sempre con una timbro ed feeling equilibrato ed utilizzabile, ne ho provati tanti di pickup e di tutte le marche boutique, sono i primi che hanno un suono fantastico sia un HB che SC .Suono dei pickup, ignorate le indicazioni ufficiali, ha la grana sporca e grassa di un vintage con una pronuncia sulle medio basse medie leggermente a V morbide ed acuti presenti ma non acidi, lontano da un A shape di un pickup metal moderno tipo BK Nailbomb, ma ha un leggero V shape che ricorda quello che si ottiene con l EQ del Mesa Marl V applicato su un pickup JB o simili, in single coil ha un suono caldo di un sovravvolto con un timbro oltre che convincente, suona meglio di moltissimi SC hot texas provati. Molto versatile ed uno dei pochi fruibili sia in coil slip sulle singole bobine e nell out of phase anche sugli humbucker manico+ponte, perfettamente utilizzabile anche in situazioni Jazz e Rock senza avere quell impressione di suono forzato nel genere. Sono diventati uno dei set che preferisco versatilità esagerata, montati sia su chitarre downtuning heavy che su chitarre similstrato con ponte, ci suono di tutto e con tutto, sia con ampli high gain che vintage, ci faccio sia high gain, rock, blues che jazz.
Review: Raw and rough, absurdly high output - As you'd expect, when the packaging looks menacing and these are called "Black Winters" you know you're in for a treat. I had these put in an Ibanez RG that has a HSH pick-up config, for the nerds out there I put a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder in the middle, although I may change it for a hot rail, I digress. With these being very high output, you can get some pretty gnarly tones at mid gain, and some brutal sounds with even higher gain. Very cold sounding bridge pickup but a thick and sludgey neck pickup, can very easily cut well through a mix. Pick-ups specifically for black metal, what would you expect? Very good, just hard to control the tone.
