Seymour Duncan Black Winter 7-String Pickup Set

The Black Winter set delivers aggressive, articulate tone with commanding output—engineered specifically for extended-range instruments and heavy playing styles. These hand-built humbuckers respond with clarity and punch, cutting through dense mixes without sacrificing definition across all seven strings. Built for players who demand maximum aggression without compromise.

Tone & Output Character

The custom overwound coil design combined with three large ceramic magnets produces a high-output signal with exceptional midrange presence and treble definition. Bridge and neck pickups are calibrated for balanced assault, ensuring consistent attack and sustain across the full extended range.

Construction & Reliability

Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal and feedback, critical for heavy gain applications and extended-range playing. The 4-conductor lead wire enables multiple wiring configurations, providing flexibility for custom switching schemes and coil-splitting options.
