A humbucker designed for low tunings and modern distortion
The Black Winter SH-BWB is aimed at guitarists who want a bridge pickup capable of handling high gain levels without losing definition. Its voicing emphasizes precision and impact, with immediate dynamics that help keep riffs clear, even in very low tunings and on heavily compressed amps.
For whom and in which styles?
Designed for extreme metal (black, death, modern thrash, metalcore), this humbucker is an excellent choice if you're looking for a dense and biting sound with excellent note separation. It also suits solos that need to "cut through" the mix, thanks to a present high end and punchy mids.
Split, 4-conductor wiring, and interference reduction
With its 4 conductors, the SH-BWB offers multiple wiring options: full humbucker for a wall of gain, or split to achieve a finer, sharper texture-useful for dark arpeggios or more open rhythmic parts. Its interference-resistant design helps maintain a cleaner signal in busy environments (lighting, power supplies, stages), a real advantage when playing loud and saturated.
