A humbucker inspired by a legendary configuration
Who better than Seymour Duncan to capture the spirit of a late sixties humbucker? The Green Magic pays tribute to a great English guitarist from that era and a "happy accident" that became iconic: a pickup with its magnet mounted backwards, creating an out-of-phase relationship when combined with a second pickup. This approach defined the blues rock sound of a whole generation, delivering a tone that is both musical, edgy, and incredibly lively.
Humbucker grain with near single-coil snap in the middle position
Mounted at the bridge, this Green Magic delivers the bite and harmonic richness expected for blues rock: defined chords, saturation that remains clear, and dynamics that respond immediately to touch. When paired with the neck pickup from the Green Magic set, the middle position reveals surprising clarity and expressiveness, with a precision feel often associated with single coils. Perfect for switching from a thick vintage drive to more airy textures without changing guitars.
Alnico II magnet and split wiring: vintage warmth, modern flexibility
Equipped with an Alnico II magnet, this humbucker emphasizes natural warmth, smooth highs, and singing mids, ideal for blues phrasing and organic crunch. Its 4-conductor construction allows for advanced configurations (including coil splitting) to fine-tune your tone depending on your amp, pedals, and style, from roots blues to more powerful vintage rock.
