The "British blues" sound that defined an era
Who better than Seymour Duncan to capture the DNA of a vintage late 60s humbucker? The Green Magic Set is inspired by a configuration made famous by a great English guitarist of that period, focusing on a classic tone : rich, organic, and responsive to playing dynamics. In both neck and bridge positions, you get that ultimate blues rock grit, both round and precise, with the typical "breath" feel of well-calibrated vintage pickups.
A unique middle position, between humbucker and single coil
The signature feature of this set is its out-of-phase middle position. Seymour Duncan achieves this through a specific design choice: the neck pickup magnet is reversed. The result: when both pickups are engaged together, you access a clearer, more incisive tonal palette, with articulation and expressiveness reminiscent of sounds usually reserved for single coils. Perfect for highlighting nuanced rhythms, double stops, or bluesy phrases full of character, while retaining the personality of a humbucker set.
Wiring versatility thanks to 4-conductor construction
Designed for guitarists who like to optimize their electronics, the Green Magic Set features a 4-conductor construction. This allows for wiring options such as coil splitting, further expanding the tonal palette from vintage blues to sharper rock tones, without losing balance between neck and bridge pickups. All finished in a black coverless design, ideal for a sleek, modern, and effective look.
