Seymour DuncanHolcomb SS 8 String Pickup Set Black Bridge or Neck
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for an 8-string setup, the black Seymour Duncan Holcomb SS pickup set pairs the Scarlet neck pickup with the Scourge bridge pickup. Scarlet uses a ceramic magnet and is calibrated for note definition in clean and mid-gain work, including complex chord voicings, coil splitting, and drop tunings. Scourge uses an Alnico 8 magnet, bringing the low end and focused mids described for Mark Holcomb’s modern sound. Together, the set addresses distinct neck and bridge roles rather than treating both positions the same.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 8-string players using clean or mid-gain sounds who need note definition for complex chord voicings.
- Players using coil splitting or drop tunings within the pickup set’s intended high-gain modeling context.
