Seymour DuncanBlack Winter 7 String Pickup
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Black Winter is a black, high-output passive humbucker for seven-string guitar setups aimed at extreme-metal and high-gain work. Its three large ceramic magnets and custom overwound coils are designed for output and sustain while keeping mids and highs clear and the low end controlled. The voicing supports forceful palm mutes, sweep-picked passages, and lead work, including very low tunings, without giving up string-to-string separation or sensitivity.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Seven-string high-gain rigs used for extreme-metal palm mutes, sweep picking, and lead parts.
- Extended-range setups using very low tunings that need controlled low end and string separation.
