A Nod to Great Vintage Blues Rock Tones
The Seymour Duncan Green Magic is inspired by a configuration that has become legendary among blues rock enthusiasts: a pickup with a magnet mounted "backwards," creating an out-of-phase response when used with the bridge pickup. The result: you get the thick and musical character of a humbucker in the neck position, while accessing a surprisingly clear and articulate middle position, with an expressiveness that evokes the spirit of single coils.
Who Is It For and What For?
Designed for guitarists seeking a vintage and lively neck humbucker, the Green Magic excels in blues and rock. It highlights playing nuances, vibratos, bends, and volume work, while maintaining good definition for chords. In a band setting, it delivers the typical warmth of late sixties tones, with a very inspiring "vocal" quality.
Design and Sonic Personality
With its dual coil and passive electronics, this electric pickup maintains an organic response and natural dynamics. The key point is the reversed magnet : when paired with a compatible bridge pickup, you get an out-of-phase combination that tightens the low end and enhances clarity, ideal for punchy rhythms and more aggressive leads in the middle position. The 4-conductor wiring also allows for coil-splitting setups to switch between humbucker thickness and airier textures.
