A nod to the old school, calibrated to sound "modern"
The Seymour Duncan High Voltage captures the spirit of vintage humbuckers thanks to the Alnico II, while delivering a more explosive tone. The goal: to maintain the musicality and warmth typical of Alnico II, but with a snappier output to handle heavy rhythms and stand out in solos without becoming harsh.
Who is it for and what styles?
This electric guitar pickup is aimed at guitarists who want to transition from bluesy rock to a more muscular hard rock without changing guitars. In the bridge position, it provides presence, precision, and an ideal output level for thick riffs, palm mutes, and fat legato lines, while retaining clear definition in clean tones.
Wiring versatility and balanced response
Thanks to its 4-conductor construction, the High Voltage Bridge opens the door to advanced wiring options: coil splits for snappier sounds, series/parallel for adjusting output level and texture, or custom combinations with your potentiometers and switches. Within the High Voltage range, the balance is designed to work in tandem with the neck pickup of the series, ensuring a coherent transition between positions.
