Rock and metal guitarists seeking that perfect balance of power and clarity will find their match in the Duncan Distortion, Seymour Duncan's legendary high-output passive humbucker that has defined heavy tones for decades. This pickup combines a massive ceramic magnet with hot coil windings to produce powerful yet balanced rock and metal tones, featuring rich upper-midrange harmonic content that cuts through any mix.
The low strings maintain tight, mean characteristics whilst the high strings scream with harmonics, making this pickup ideal for hard-hitting crunch rhythms and blazing lead work. The Duncan Distortion excels at producing the aggressive tones demanded by modern rock and metal styles.
Handcrafted in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara, California factory, each pickup features premium construction including a large ceramic bar magnet, nickel-silver bottom plate, and 4-conductor lead wire for versatile wiring configurations. Vacuum wax potting ensures squeal-free performance even under high-gain conditions.
