A Vintage Spirit, a More Modern Attack
With the High Voltage series, Seymour Duncan pays tribute to classic tones thanks to the Alnico II magnets, while offering a more aggressive voicing for an immediate sense of power. The set is announced as calibrated for a natural balance between positions, with a subtly demagnetized bridge pickup to harmonize levels and overall response.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This neck pickup is aimed at guitarists who want to move from clear cleans to thick rhythms, then to a cutting lead with plenty of sustain. It is particularly suitable for rock, blues, and hard rock contexts, maintaining good clarity on chords and legato lines.
Wiring Versatility and Explosive Response
Thanks to its 4-conductor construction, the High Voltage allows advanced wiring options (split, coil combinations) to expand the tonal palette without changing guitars. Its dual coil design adds body and reduces noise, while its calibration aims for an "explosive" output: dense power chords, present mids, and an attack that remains precise even with gain.
