Seymour Duncan Fluff Model, Bridge, Black

A Custom Shop Meeting Between Two Classics

The Seymour Duncan FLF was born from a simple idea: to allow Ryan "Fluff" Bruce to combine his favorite textures into a pickup capable of handling everything from massive palm-muting to the most expressive solo phrases. By combining a coil from the JB Model (SH-4) with a coil borrowed from the Black Winter, the Custom Shop team developed a unique recipe, calibrated for the bite and impact that define his playing style.

Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?

Designed for guitarists who play in low tunings and seek a firm, articulate, and percussive rhythm tone, the FLF targets both modern metal enthusiasts and musicians looking for a "plug and play" pickup for heavy sound. It excels on tight riffs, fast patterns, and big chords, while maintaining enough presence in the upper spectrum to make leads stand out in the mix.

Attack, Rich Mids, and Singing Highs

The heart of the FLF is its balance: rich mids that provide body and projection, a clear attack for punchy rhythms, and singing highs that remain expressive without becoming harsh. The use of an Alnico 4 bar magnet delivers the ideal response to combine bite and musicality. And when you roll back your guitar's volume, the FLF softens to reveal a rounder clean tone, perfect for expanding your palette without changing pickups.
