Overview

A humbucker set for bold mids and articulate vintage tones.

The Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick humbucker pickup is designed to capture the genre-defying tone of one of thrash metal's most innovative guitarists. Crafted in collaboration with Testament's Alex Skolnick, this set reflects his journey from high-gain metal to expressive jazz. The bridge pickup is wound hotter to emphasize midrange frequencies, ensuring bold, aggressive tones that cut through dense mixes. In contrast, the neck humbucker offers a vintage-voiced, lower-output design for smooth, articulate melodies. Together, these pickups provide the perfect balance of power and precision, making them ideal for players who demand tonal versatility and dynamic response. Every note resonates with clarity and character, embodying Skolnick's signature sound.

Seymour Duncan Bridge Pickup With Hot Winding for Midrange Power

The bridge humbucker in this set is engineered for players who need a commanding, focused tone. Wound hotter than standard pickups, it emphasizes midrange frequencies, delivering punchy and aggressive tones that excel in high-gain scenarios. This design ensures that palm-muted riffs retain definition and clarity, even under heavy distortion. The enhanced output allows lead lines to cut through a mix with precision, making it ideal for both rhythm and solo work. Whether you're driving a thrash metal anthem or laying down intricate lead passages, this pickup ensures a bold and dynamic sound that stands out on stage or in the studio.

Alex Skolnick Vintage-Voiced Neck Pickup for Smooth Articulation

The neck humbucker offers a vintage-inspired tonal foundation, providing a smooth and articulate counterbalance to the boldness of the bridge pickup. Its lower-output design ensures clarity, making it ideal for expressive melodies and intricate chord work. The pickup's voicing captures warm, rounded lows and detailed highs, delivering the dynamic sensitivity needed for fluid lead playing and jazz-inspired phrasing. This balance between power and articulation ensures that every note rings out with clarity and warmth, making it a versatile tool for players exploring melodic or harmonic complexity.

A Signature Set Built for Expressive Playing

The Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick humbucker pickup set is crafted for guitarists who demand tonal precision and versatility. Whether capturing the aggressive crunch of thrash metal or the nuanced phrasing of jazz, these pickups deliver the dynamic range required for expressive playing. Built with the same attention to detail as Skolnick's signature guitar, this set offers reliable performance for both stage and studio use. Unlock the tonal possibilities of this custom-designed humbucker set and explore new dimensions in your sound.
