Relentless pursuit of the perfect tone. We've all experienced it. It never subsides. When Yngwie said he wanted to take his tone to the next level, we listened.
He is, by many accounts, history's all-time greatest guitar hero. With the ubiquitous top hat and shades, mop of black curls obscuring his face, and a blazing electric guitar tone blasting through a wall of amps, Slash epitomizes the very reasons we first air-strummed a low-slung tennis racquet in the privacy of our bedroom.
For guitar players who want it all, the ground breaking design of Seymour Duncan P-Rails®, delivered three distinct tonal voices in a single pickup: fat humbucker, beefy P-90, and traditional single coil Strat® tone.
The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop has been custom-building 7-string electric pickups upon request for years. Now, to keep up with the demand for 7-string pickups, the company is introducing production versions of some of their most popular models
Seymour Duncan is announcing the release of several of their most popular pick-ups, specifically re-designed to capture the deeper tones and wider range of sound found in the new generation of seven-stringed instruments
When six strings seem too conventional and seven strings still just aren't enough, Seymour Duncan announces the release of the latest version of our hugely successful Blackouts series, the 8-string Blackouts.
Guitarists are always striving to conjure as many sounds as possible out of their instrument. One of the ways to do so is by altering the wiring of the pickups to split coils.
There's something magical about the sound of a Strat. Whether clean or overdriven, the unmistakable single-coil's characteristics are primary colors in the guitar player's tonal palette.
Like its cousins the Twin Tube Classic and Twin Tube Mayhem, the Twin Tube Blue is a high-quality, two-channel, guitar preamp. However, this one is voiced for the blues. We're talking modern blues, Chicago blues, Texas blues, and classic rock.
At its heart, the Double Back is a low noise, low distortion compressor-sustainer pedal with very wide-range compression, exceptional sustain, and simple, intuitive control of compressor dynamics
After the resounding success of their BlackoutsTM line of active humbuckers, Seymour Duncan, the Santa Barbara-based pickup giant, follows their home run with launch of Blackouts with chrome, gold and black nickel-plated metal covers.
Where do you go when you play the most extreme, aggressive, brutal rock and you need to cut through all the instruments in the band? Where do you go when you want the hugest sound you can get out of an electric guitar pickup? Where do you go when you're already on "11?"
Face it. Guitar tones are getting heavier and heavier. It's just the state of modern rock music today. That's a fact. Seymour Duncan has responded with the SH-15 Alternative 8™), their first production pickup to use an Alnico 8 magnet.
After the resounding success of their Blackouts active humbucker range, Seymour Duncan follows-up their hit with launch of 7-string Blackouts. Actually, the Santa Barbara-based pickup giant is offering two versions of Blackouts for 7-string aficionados. They call the two versions "Phase I" and "Phase II."
Some would argue that guitarists are a greedy bunch. They want it all. And they want it now. Two of things they want are the full and rich sound of a humbucker and the fat and clear tone of a vintage P-90.
Capitalizing on the success of their previous pedalofferings, Santa Barbara-based Seymour Duncan released their latest pedal, the SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem™.
After the resounding success of their active Dave Mustaine LiveWires humbucker last year, Seymour Duncan, the Santa Barbara-based pickup giant, follows-up that success with the launch of Blackouts, a new range of 9-volt active pickups for electric guitar.
