The Black Winter guitar pickup by Seymour Duncan is a searing bridge pickup designed for unrelenting tonal chaos, and it is definitely not for the faint of heart. Named after the song "Black Winter Day" by Finnish metal band Amorphis, these passive humbuckers are primed and ready for sonic destruction. Specifically designed for black metal, death metal, and grindcore, these pickups summon the darkest depths of heavy tone with sinister results, thanks to custom overwound coils that maximize both output and clarity. Additionally, the Black Winter pickups feature some of the sharpest Gothic-inspired graphics ever seen on a pickup, a nod to the early extreme metal records found across Scandinavia that is sure to please GearNuts's many fans.

When you throw the Black Winter bridge humbucker into your favorite 6-string, be prepared to ascend to the dark throne of sonic brutality. These pickups are designed to handle metal's most extreme subgenres, making them the perfect choice for anyone seeking chainsaw brutality captured in a passive pickup.

The Black Winter passive pickup is engineered for extreme metal, featuring three large ceramic magnets for maximum output and sustain in high-gain scenarios, providing savage high-output power. With its massive low end, the Black Winter is capable of handling any tuning, no matter how low you go. Its voicing facilitates aggressive palm mutes, fluid sweep picking, and punishing lead tones. Custom overwound coils ensure clarity in mids and highs, while maintaining controlled and focused low-end response. You can expect crushing distortion, vicious mids, and aggressive saturation at your fingertips, without sacrificing string-to-string separation and sensitivity.

Hand built in the USA at our Santa Barbara, CA shop, the Black Winter pickup features multiple wiring options and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. With its combination of intense power, massive low end, note clarity and focus, and maximum onslaught, the Black Winter pickup is primed to deliver the ultimate sonic brutality for players in the world of extreme metal.
