Seymour DuncanDino C Machete TB Humbucker Pickup Red Bridge
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Machete TB is a red active bridge humbucker based on the Retribution model and installed in a passive mount. Its high-output design focuses on immediate attack, aggressive clarity, and low-end definition for heavy parts. Treble bite and low-mid thickness give tight chugging, rapid-picking riffs, and lead lines a defined edge in dense arrangements. The pickup is voiced with Dino Cazares’ signature sound as its reference point while preserving the model’s organic, dynamic feel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bridge-pickup rhythm work built around tight chugs and fast repeated-picking patterns.
- Heavy lead and rhythm parts needing sharp attack with treble bite and low-mid thickness.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars requiring a neck-position pickup; the specified position is bridge.
