Seymour DuncanBlackened Black Winter Humbucker Neck Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Seymour Duncan’s Blackened Black Winter is the neck-position version of its passive, high-output Black Winter humbucker. Three large ceramic magnets and custom overwound coils are used to deliver strong output and sustain in high-gain settings, while retaining clear mids and highs with a controlled low end. Its voicing is aimed at extreme-metal playing, including forceful palm mutes, sweep-picked passages, and aggressive lead parts. It is available here in black.
