The Seymour Duncan Holcomb SS 8-string humbucker pickup delivers the cutting-edge tone demanded by modern progressive metal players. Designed in collaboration with Mark Holcomb of Periphery, this set features the Scarlet neck pickup and Scourge bridge pickup, each engineered for clarity, definition, and power across extended ranges. Whether navigating intricate chord voicings or drop-tuned riffs, these pickups excel with focused articulation and tonal depth. The Scarlet neck pickup utilizes a ceramic magnet for clean and mid-gain applications, while the Scourge bridge pickup employs an Alnico 8 magnet for powerful low-end and tight midrange response. Built to meet the needs of high-gain amp modeling setups, the Holcomb SS ensures every note cuts through with precision and authority.
Seymour Duncan Ceramic Scarlet Neck Pickup for Clean and Mid-Gain Articulation
The Scarlet neck pickup is meticulously voiced to enhance clarity and definition, even in complex chord progressions. Featuring a ceramic magnet, this pickup balances output for clean passages and mid-gain tones, making it ideal for expressive playing and atmospheric textures. Unlike traditional neck pickups that can muddy intricate voicings, the Scarlet ensures every note is articulate and well-defined. This refined voicing allows players to explore dynamic tonal variations without sacrificing precision, making it indispensable for clean arpeggios or smooth leads.
Scourge Bridge Pickup With Alnico 8 Magnet for High-Gain Power
The Scourge bridge pickup is crafted to anchor aggressive playing styles with its commanding low-end and focused midrange. Powered by an Alnico 8 magnet, it delivers the punch and sustain needed for high-gain tones while maintaining clarity in drop tunings and fast, heavy riffs. The Scourge's voicing ensures that even under extreme distortion, every note stays tight and impactful. This design provides the tonal heft required for progressive metal rhythms and the responsiveness needed for searing solos.
Built for Modern Tonal Demands and Extended Ranges
The Seymour Duncan Holcomb SS pickups are optimized for 8-string guitars, ensuring consistent performance across extended ranges. Their voicing complements the precision of modern amp modeling technology, maintaining clarity and balance in demanding tonal environments.
