Seymour DuncanHolcomb SS 8-String Humbucker Pickup Black Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For an 8-string guitar, this black HH set pairs the Scarlet neck humbucker with the Scourge bridge humbucker. Scarlet uses a ceramic magnet and is voiced for clean and mid-gain passages where complex chords and arpeggios need definition. Scourge uses an Alnico 8 magnet, bringing powerful low end and focused mids to drop-tuned riffs and high-gain parts. Coil splitting adds another switching option, and the set is designed with modern amp-modeling rigs in mind.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building an 8-string setup for articulate clean or mid-gain chord voicings and arpeggios.
- Handling drop-tuned riffs and high-gain parts with the Scourge bridge pickup.
- Using coil splitting alongside full humbucker operation in an 8-string guitar.
