Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter, Humbucker Set Matte Black Pickup

The Blackened Black Winter delivers punchy, aggressive tone with articulate midrange punch and extended harmonic content—built for heavy tunings and distortion-driven applications. This passive humbucker set employs three large ceramic magnets to generate thick, sustain-rich output without sacrificing note definition. The fully blacked-out hardware and matte finish create visual cohesion on modern metal and hard rock instruments prioritizing both sonic character and aesthetic impact.

Tone & Output Characteristics

With a DC resistance of 16.6 kOhms, this set produces punchy midrange and chunky riffing ideal for heavy genres. The ceramic magnet configuration ensures articulate note definition and extended harmonic content suited to sustained leads, delivering the aggression required in contemporary heavy music without sacrificing clarity.

Design & Construction

The pickup features a fully integrated black aesthetic—black poles, black hex screw pole pieces, and black bottom plate—eliminating visual contrast on dark instruments. A 4-conductor cable provides wiring flexibility, allowing series, parallel, or split configurations depending on your installation requirements.
