Seymour Duncan (Black) Winter Humbucker Bridge Pickup (Black)

Built for the most punishing metal applications, the Black Winter humbucker represents Seymour Duncan’s most aggressive passive pickup design. This savagely high-output humbucker features three large ceramic magnets that guarantee maximum output and sustain across all high-gain scenarios. The custom overwound coil construction provides incredible clarity through the mids and highs whilst maintaining controlled and focused low-end response.

Engineered to handle any tuning regardless of how low you tune, the Black Winter’s voicing excels at aggressive palm mutes, fluid sweep picking, and punishing lead tones. You’ll achieve crushing distortion, vicious mids, and aggressive saturation without compromising string-to-string separation or touch sensitivity. The 7- and 8-string variants are specifically designed to manage extended-range low notes with complete authority.

Hand crafted in Santa Barbara, California, Seymour Duncan produces the Black Winter in 6-string standard humbucker and Trembucker sizes, plus 7- and 8-string passive mount configurations. Each pickup includes 4-conductor lead wire for versatile wiring options and undergoes vacuum wax potting to prevent unwanted squealing. For the ultimate metal setup, pair the bridge Black Winter with its matching neck counterpart.
