Seymour Duncan Hades Gates Black Pickup Set
The Seymour Duncan Hades Gates Black delivers aggressive, articulate voicing with tight low-end response and cutting midrange clarity. These overwound Alnico 2 humbuckers excel in high-gain contexts where definition matters—modern metal, hard rock, and aggressive fusion all benefit from their focused character. Built to exacting standards in Santa Barbara, this set brings professional-grade output and reliability to demanding players.
Tone & Output Character
The 8.06k ohms (neck) and 8.90k ohms (bridge) DC resistance ratings position these pickups in the overwound territory, generating substantial output with controlled compression ideal for distortion and overdrive saturation. The Alnico 2 magnet construction provides warmth beneath the aggression, preventing harshness while maintaining the tight, focused attack that modern styles demand.
Design & Specifications
4-conductor wiring enables flexible switching options and coil-splitting capability when paired with appropriate electronics. The short mounting legs accommodate various guitar body cavity configurations, while hand-built construction in Santa Barbara ensures consistent quality and attention to detail across each set.
