The Seymour Duncan YJM Fury Stack Neck/Middle pickup is a signature design born from collaboration with virtuoso Yngwie J Malmsteen, engineered to deliver the articulation and fluidity essential to high–velocity classical rock technique. Hand–built in Santa Barbara, California, this noiseless design uses custom Alnico 5 rod magnets and proprietary coil architecture to eliminate hum without sacrificing clarity. The neck/middle voicing prioritises responsiveness to picking dynamics whilst maintaining a sweet, smooth character across the frequency spectrum.
The pickup features a 25.5k ohms DC resistance specification and employs Seymour Duncan's patented Stack technology: a specialised bottom coil that injects negative hum into the circuit, with each unit fine–tuned at the factory for maximum noise cancellation. Construction includes 4–conductor shielded cable and wax potting to eliminate squeal and microphony. The Alnico 5 magnet formulation provides sufficient gauss strength for articulate response without the tonal brittleness associated with ceramic designs, whilst the custom coil geometry ensures balanced output when used in multi–pickup configurations.
This neck/middle variant shares identical output, wind direction, and magnetic polarity, making it suitable for phase–coherent blending with bridge models in a three–pickup Stratocaster setup. The reversed–wind/reversed–polarity (RWRP) middle option integrates seamlessly with standard neck or bridge pickups to achieve traditional hum–cancelling combinations without phase anomalies. Passive design with straightforward integration into existing wiring systems.
