Detail 01
Coil pack, not a full pickup
This is the coil half only. It produces nothing until it is connected to a Blackouts preamp.

Seymour DuncanBlackouts Coil Pack Neck Pickup Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single neck-position Blackouts coil pack in black. For replacing one position or building a modular Blackouts setup piece by piece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping in a neck coil when the bridge pickup is already sorted
- Replacing a damaged neck pack in an existing Blackouts install
- Adding the neck position later after starting with bridge only
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a working pickup out of the box — the preamp is separate
- Anyone needing both positions; the full set is the cheaper path
- Guitars without cavity room for the preamp module
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
Neck position
Voiced for the neck, where string swing is widest. Putting it at the bridge will read thin and quiet.
Detail 03
Black cover
Standard humbucker size in black. Pairs with black rings and hardware, contrasts with chrome or gold.
Detail 04
Modular design
Coil and preamp are separate parts, so the voicing can be changed later without pulling the coil.
Detail 05
$115 for one position
Priced as a single component. Buying two coils plus a preamp separately costs more than the set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Preamp module sold separately and is required for this to make sound
- 02Measure your neck cavity — this needs a full-size humbucker route
- 03Plan where the battery and preamp will sit before you start wiring
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this work on its own?
No. The coil pack must be paired with a Blackouts preamp module, which is not included at this price.
02What is the difference between the neck and bridge pack?
They are wound for their positions. The neck sits under wider string movement, the bridge under narrower. Using the wrong one leaves the two pickups mismatched in output.
03Will it fit a standard humbucker route?
Yes, it uses the standard humbucker footprint. Check that your guitar is routed for a full-size humbucker, not a single-coil or P-90.
04Is one coil pack enough to convert my guitar?
Only for one position. A two-pickup guitar needs both coil packs and a preamp, which the complete set bundles for less.
