Detail 01
6.7K DC resistance
Vintage-output territory. Cleans up with the volume knob and keeps string definition instead of pushing the amp hard.

Seymour DuncanFive-Two Rev Wound Replacement Single-Coil Pickup White
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Vintage-output single-coil replacement using both Alnico II and V rod magnets. For players who want bright, balanced single-coil tone rather than more output.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing tired stock single-coils without moving to a hotter pickup
- Clean and edge-of-breakup playing where note separation matters
- Sets where the reverse wind quiets the in-between switch positions
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- High-gain players — 6.7K stays vintage level, not hot
- Anyone wanting silence; a true single-coil still hums
- Wiring experimenters — the single-conductor lead allows no coil switching
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
Alnico II and V rod magnets
Two magnet strengths across the string set, evening out volume between the wound and plain strings.
Detail 03
8.2kHz resonant peak
The peak sits high, so the top end stays open and chiming rather than rolled off.
Detail 04
EQ 5/5/6 low/mid/high
Flat lows and mids with a slight treble lift. Bright, but not scooped in the middle.
Detail 05
Single-conductor cloth lead
One hot wire plus shield. Standard wiring only, with no coil tap or series/parallel options.
Detail 06
Custom Bridge version at 6.9K, 7.9kHz
Slightly more output and a slightly softer top end so the bridge sits level with neck and middle.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as one pickup, not a set — order per position if replacing all three
- 02Soldering required; the cloth lead has no solderless connector
- 03Choose position carefully: neck, middle, bridge and Custom Bridge are wound differently
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this hot enough for distortion?
Output is moderate at 6.7K. It will drive a cranked amp and pedals fine, but for tight, modern high-gain you'd want a higher-output pickup.
02Will it hum?
Yes, it's a true single-coil. The reverse wind only cancels hum when it's combined with another pickup in the in-between switch positions.
03Can I coil-split or tap it?
No. The single-conductor cloth lead gives one hot and a ground, so it wires the standard way with no switching tricks available.
04What's different about the Custom Bridge version?
It reads 6.9K with a 7.9kHz resonant peak instead of 6.7K and 8.2kHz — a little more output and a slightly tamer top end.
