The Screamin’ Demon humbucker strikes the perfect balance between vintage P.A.F. clarity and modern high-gain aggression. Seymour Duncan engineered this pickup with slightly overwound coils, an alnico 5 bar magnet, and a unique mix of pole pieces featuring standard adjustable screws alongside shorter Allen head screws. This combination produces a big, open tone with enhanced treble response that maintains articulate pick attack even under heavy distortion.
Originally conceived as a bridge pickup, the 10k Screamin’ Demon also performs exceptionally well in the neck position when matched with a high-output bridge humbucker. For that classic 80s sound, pair the Screamin’ Demon bridge pickup with either the 59 or Jazz model neck humbuckers.
Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, these medium output humbuckers feature premium construction including an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, and 4-conductor lead wire for versatile wiring configurations. Each pickup is vacuum wax potted to prevent microphonic squealing and comes available in both standard humbucker and Trembucker spacing options.
- Airiness of an old-school P.A.F. with more growl and sizzle
