Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter Trembucker Bridge Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter Trembucker Bridge Pickup (11103-91-BBW) is designed for extreme metal players who demand crushing output, surgical precision, and relentless aggression. Available from Angkor Music Melbourne in Altona, Victoria, this pickup is built for modern high-gain performance where clarity and power must coexist.

At the heart of the Blackened Black Winter is a high-output ceramic magnet paired with aggressively overwound coils, delivering a brutally tight low end that stays focused during fast palm-muted riffs and down-tuned playing. The midrange is sharp and authoritative, ensuring your guitar cuts through the mix with ease, while the highs remain clear and controlled without excessive harshness.

This model features Trembucker spacing, making it the ideal choice for guitars equipped with Floyd Rose or similar tremolo bridge systems. Correct pole alignment ensures even string response, consistent output, and precise articulation across the fretboard, even under extreme distortion.

The distinctive blackened open-coil finish adds an aggressive visual edge that perfectly complements modern metal guitars. Whether you play death metal, black metal, metalcore, djent, or modern progressive styles, the Blackened Black Winter delivers uncompromising tone, attack, and sustain.
