A Legendary Sound Born from a "Mistake"
Some sounds define an era to the point of becoming a reference for generations of guitarists. The Green Magic is inspired by the quest for the ultimate late 60s blues rock tone, when a pickup with a magnet mounted backwards accidentally revealed an extraordinary sonic signature. Seymour Duncan recreates this alchemy by offering a set designed to capture that vintage character without compromising musicality.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Designed for the electric guitar, this set of passive humbuckers is tailored for players seeking a lively sound: clear attacks, singing mids, and natural sustain. In rock and blues, it excels equally in thick riffs and expressive leads, with a playing response that highlights right-hand nuances and volume variations.
Out-of-Phase, Split, and Dynamics: The Palette That Makes the Difference
The heart of the Green Magic set is its Alnico II magnet and especially the out-of-phase middle position when both pickups are engaged together, thanks to the neck pickup's magnet being installed backwards. The result: a clearer, more open, and extremely expressive texture, perfect for intricate rhythms or breathing blues phrases. With a 4-conductor construction, you can also explore advanced wiring options (including coil splitting) to further expand the tonal palette, from full, creamy humbucker sounds to finer, sharper textures.
