Essential Information About the Seymour Duncan Green Magic Set Zebra
- The late sixties fine blues rock tone : warmth, dynamics, and expressive attack, both in the neck and bridge positions.
- Out-of-phase intermediate position : clarity and a single-coil-like "snap" without losing the humbuckers' body.
- Alnico II magnets : smooth response, singing mids, and natural sustain for blues and rock playing.
- 4 conductors : ideal for splitting, advanced wiring, and mods (push-pull, selectors, etc.).

A Legendary Configuration Precisely Recreated
The quest for the ultimate late 60s blues rock sound is often linked to a legendary accidental discovery: a pickup with its magnet reversed, creating an out-of-phase combination in the intermediate position. The Green Magic set revisits this idea and makes it usable daily, with a calibration designed to recapture that "vintage," warm, and lively character that responds to touch.
Who Is It For and What Is It For?
This set of passive humbucker pickups is aimed at guitarists seeking a credible blues/rock foundation, capable of moving from thick, smooth chords to sharper, more articulate leads. In the neck position, you get a round and singing register, perfect for bends and expressive playing; in the bridge, the tone remains powerful and precise. Most importantly, the intermediate position opens a very musical territory: more airy, more nuanced, ideal for rhythm and blues, arpeggios, and grooves.
Sound Character and Wiring Options
Thanks to the Alnico II magnets and dual coil design, the Green Magic retains the body and noise-canceling properties of a humbucker while offering an expanded palette through its 4 conductors. You can consider coil splitting for snappier textures or series/parallel configurations to adjust output level and openness. The result: a versatile set clearly oriented toward the classic blues rock tone and its playing nuances.

Questions frequently asked
What sound does the out-of-phase middle position produce?
In the middle position, the inverted magnet-inspired wiring produces a more airy and nuanced tone. This sound is suitable for arpeggios, grooves, and rhythm'n'blues.
Seymour Duncan Green Magic Set Zebra: what are the pickups' resistances?
The neck pickup has a resistance of 7.73 kOhms, delivering a warm and singing tone. The bridge pickup reaches 8.75 kOhms to maintain a punchy and precise attack. Both pickups use Alnico II magnets.
Can the Green Magic pickups be coil-split?
The four-conductor wiring allows for splitting configurations to obtain snappier textures. Series/parallel wiring can also be done to adjust output level and tonal openness.
Does this set require power?
This configuration is based on passive electronics and therefore does not require any dedicated power supply.
What finish and positions are included?
The set includes a neck humbucker and a bridge humbucker with dual coils. The Zebra finish pairs white with the two-tone aesthetic of the bobbins.
