Seymour Duncan

The Duncan Distortion is Seymour Duncans original high-output passive humbucker pickup. It incorporates a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings to deliver powerful but balanced rock and metal tones with rich upper-midrange harmonic content. Lows strings are tight and mean while the high strings scream with harmonics, making it a go-to pickup for hard-hitting crunch rhythms and blazing lead tones.

The Distortion neck pickup is specifically designed for use with the Distortion bridge model. It provides the highest output of all Seymour Duncans neck humbuckers-hot enough to deliver smooth, fluid solo tones under gain, while still being capable of bell-like clean tones. For a super-flexible setup you can pair a Distortion bridge with a '59 or Jazz neck pickup and cover a huge array of styles.

Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the Distortion uses a large ceramic bar magnet, nickel-silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
