Detail 01
Coil pack, not a full pickup
The coil is only half the system. It does nothing until it feeds a Blackouts preamp module.

Seymour DuncanBlackouts Coil Pack Bridge Pickup Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single bridge-position Blackouts coil pack in black. For players building or repairing a modular Blackouts setup one position at a time.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a failed or wrong-position coil pack in an existing Blackouts rig
- Bridge-only upgrade on a guitar whose neck tone you already like
- Building a modular set gradually instead of paying for both at once
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a complete drop-in pickup — this needs the matching preamp
- Players who want both positions; the set costs less than two packs plus preamp
- Guitars with no room for a preamp module in the control cavity
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Bridge position
Wound and voiced for the bridge, where string movement is smallest. Do not put this in the neck slot.
Detail 03
Black cover
Standard humbucker footprint in black. Matches black hardware; will stand out against gold or chrome.
Detail 04
Modular design
Coil and preamp separate, so you can swap voicing without rewiring the whole guitar.
Detail 05
$115 for one position
Two packs plus a preamp costs more than the complete set. Only worth it as a single replacement.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Preamp module is not included and is required for this pickup to work
- 02Confirm your guitar routes a standard humbucker cavity before ordering
- 03Active setups need battery space; check the control cavity depth first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this without the preamp?
No. A coil pack is one half of the modular system and needs the Blackouts preamp to produce a usable signal.
02Will this fit my guitar?
It uses a standard humbucker footprint, so it fits standard humbucker routes. Confirm your cavity is a full-size humbucker slot, not a single-coil or mini route.
03Can I put this in the neck position?
It is wound for the bridge. Use the neck coil pack in the neck slot; swapping positions gives an unbalanced output between pickups.
04Should I buy this or the full set?
Buy this only to replace one position. If you need both coils and a preamp, the complete set is cheaper than buying the pieces separately.
