Seymour Duncan Black Winter Trembucker Bridge Pickup - Black

Seymour Duncan Black Winter Trembucker Bridge Pickup – Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Seymour Duncan Black Winter is not a pickup for the faint of heart — named after the song "Black Winter Day" by Finnish metal band Amorphis, the Black Winter is a passive high-output humbucker designed specifically for black metal, death metal, and grindcore, with a ceramic bar magnet at a massive 17.4k DC resistance that delivers the most extreme, earth-shattering, head-splitting passive pickup performance Seymour Duncan has ever produced. This listing is for the Trembucker bridge version — F-spacing for Floyd Rose and vintage vibrato bridge configurations — with 4-conductor plus shield wiring for coil-split and multiple wiring options, and the iconic Old English Seymour Duncan logo and custom graphics that make the Black Winter one of the most visually distinctive pickups ever made. Black. Uncovered. Passive. Made for the darkest, most extreme music on earth.

Product Overview

At 17.4k DC resistance, the Black Winter Trembucker is one of the highest-output passive humbuckers Seymour Duncan produces — higher than the Nazgul's 14.7k, higher than the JB's 16.4k, and higher than virtually any other passive humbucker in the standard Seymour Duncan catalog. The ceramic bar magnet construction drives that output with the tight, focused, aggressive magnetic response that ceramic magnets produce — more sustain, more output, tighter low-end definition, and more upper-midrange presence than alnico alternatives at equivalent winding levels. For players whose music operates at the extreme end of the gain spectrum — black metal's cold, scything treble and massive low end, death metal's brutal, grinding, saturated mid-heavy assault, and grindcore's chaotic, high-velocity extremity — the Black Winter's specification is built to serve these demands without compromise.

The Trembucker spacing — wider than standard humbucker spacing — ensures proper pole piece alignment for Floyd Rose and vintage vibrato bridge systems where standard humbucker spacing would misalign the poles relative to the strings and produce uneven output and tonal character across the six strings. Players with Floyd Rose-equipped guitars who want the most extreme high-output passive pickup option available will find the Black Winter Trembucker uniquely suited to their instrument and playing requirements.

The 4-conductor plus shield wiring provides coil-splitting, series/parallel, and phase reversal options — giving players access to tonal configurations beyond the full humbucker voice when the musical context calls for something different from the Black Winter's primary brutality. The iconic Old English Seymour Duncan logo and the pickup's distinctive custom graphics are a visual statement that matches the musical statement the Black Winter makes — this is a pickup that looks exactly as extreme as it sounds.
