    Seymour Duncan

    A signature humbucker pickup devised for Mick Thomson's intense sounds forged in the metal band, Slipknot.

    Seymour Duncan Blackouts represent the pinnacle in active pickup technology. In his relentless quest for the ultimate tone, Mick Thomson of the metal band Slipknot asked Seymour Duncan for even tighter bottom and more searing top end cut, so Seymour Duncan delivered with the EMTY guitar pickups, a pulverizing addition to their Blackouts line.

    Application:
    A 9-volt active humbucker for aggressive playing styles. Recommended for all metal and heavy rock styles, including extreme low tunings.

    Complete setup:
    AHB-3 Blackouts Humbuckers are available in individual neck and bridge model options to mix and match them with other Seymour Duncan Blackouts and Livewires Classic II active pickups. All versions come with all necessary mounting hardware, including pots, jack, and a battery clip.

    Guitars:
    Intended for all guitars with humbuckers. The blade magnets make this Seymour Duncan pickup suitable for both humbucker and Trembucker spacings.

    AHB-3 EMTY... The tone I have been waiting for...

    Comments about Seymour Duncan AHB-3 Mick Thomson Blackout Signature Active Humbucker:

    ...
    I bought this pickup in the hope that the few reviews were accurate and that something could replace my emgs and ad some tone and balls... It's true... The tone I was hearing in my head in the bridge, buttery leads with a AHB-1 in the bridge ( like the other guy said ), and the tone is unbelievable...
    Buy these pickups if you play metal... Also they clean up very well... I've also got the AHB-2 in another guitar, and it won't play clean for anything, these do clean and dirty very well...

    Very pleased

    Comments about Seymour Duncan AHB-3 Mick Thomson Blackout Signature Active Humbucker:

    I took a gamble on this pickup seeing I could only find 1 reveiw (thats why i'm writing 1 now) I could'nt be more pleased I put a original HB BLACKOUT in the neck and a AHB3 Mick Thomson in the bridge and I could not believe how good they sounded. 1 flick of the switch and i'm running both 4 the best buttery solos, change back 2 the bridge 4 the sickest crushing chords.I'd buy em again!

    Comments about Seymour Duncan AHB-3 Mick Thomson Blackout Signature Active Humbucker:

    Went from an 18volt modded EMG 85 to this and all I can say is damn!!! More punch and actual tone while retaining the balls you'd expect from active pickups. I play in Drop C and I am pleased how well the notes and chords sound out. The choice is simple....Hats off to Mick Thomson and Seymour Duncan
