When Fluff set out to build his perfect pickup, he started with two of his favorite Seymour Duncan humbuckers: the JB Model and the Black Winter. Working alongside the Custom Shop team until every note felt right, Fluff landed on a design combining high-output coils and a unique magnet for a voice that’s entirely his own.

TECH SPECS

DCR – Short for DC Resistance, is measured in Ohms and is the total resistance of the copper wire wound around a coil form. The length of the coil form, the number of turns and the gauge of wire all affect the DCR reading. DCR is often used as a gauge of output because as the turns increase, so does the output, though magnet type and the coil geometry also influence output.
Magnet – We use several different magnet formulations: Alnico 2, Alnico 3, Alnico 4, Alnico 5, Alnico 6, Alnico 8 and Ceramic 5/8. In the case of pickups, the most significant characteristic is the gauss strength, which is a measure of the density of the magnetic field. Of the magnets we use, Alnico 3 has the lowest gauss strength. From there in order of ascending strength you have A2, A4, A5, A6, Ceramic and A8. As the gauss strength goes up, so does the output. The magnets at the lower end of the scale tend to produce a softer attack and a degree of “bloom” to the envelope of the note. Ceramic magnets should be considered as an individual case because they do not contain any nickel or iron. This has the effect of decreasing the inductance of the pickup and significantly raising the resonant frequency. It is for this reason that many consider ceramic magnets to have a brittle sound, not their gauss strength. Looking at this from another point of view, ceramic magnets can be said to produce increased clarity, better note definition and faster response to picking.
Output – The overall output of a passive pickup is influenced by several design factors: number of turns of wire on the coil(s), strength of the magnet, coil geometry and magnetic circuit geometry.The output of an active pickup is influenced by the same factors but is predominantly determined by the design of the onboard preamp.

Description

When Ryan “Fluff” Bruce – one of YouTube’s most influential metal guitarists – needed a pickup that could handle anything, Seymour Duncan answered with the FLF Model. Hand-built in the Custom Shop, this signature humbucker drives the hard-hitting sound of Dragged Under and is the voice of Fluff’s limited-edition Artist Series StingRay by Ernie Ball/Music Man.

The FLF Model is sonically inspired by two of Fluff’s all-time favorite pickups: the iconic JB Model and the aggressive Black Winter. Using a coil from each of these classic Seymour Duncan humbuckers, Fluff and the custom shop team found that an Alnico 4 bar magnet created the perfect tonality, edge, and punch he was looking for.

The FLF Model delivers a throaty midrange and percussive bite that’s optimized for aggressive drop-tuned rhythm playing, while remaining buttery on top for expressive leads. Built for modern high-gain applications, the FLF Model provides the punishing attack and crunch that Fluff’s playing demands. Rolling down the volume knob brings out a mellow clean chime, giving Fluff a dynamic range of sounds – all in one pickup.

“Being able to combine my favorite Seymour Duncan tones into one pickup that works with everything I do is truly a sonic gift!” -Ryan “Fluff” Bruce

Born from Two Legends: The FLF Model combines a coil from the iconic JB Model and the aggressive Black Winter, paired with an Alnico 4 bar magnet for a tone that’s uniquely Fluff’s own.
Hand-Built in the Custom Shop: This signature humbucker is the voice behind Dragged Under and Fluff’s limited-edition Artist Series StingRay by Ernie Ball/Music Man.
Built for Modern High-Gain: A throaty midrange and percussive bite nail aggressive drop-tuned rhythms, while a smooth, buttery top end keeps leads expressive and musical.
Designed with a YouTube Icon: Built in collaboration with Ryan “Fluff” Bruce, one of the most influential heavy guitarists on the platform, to meet the demands of his high-intensity playing style.
Standard Specs: Black nickel studs and screws, matte black bobbins, black Olde English Seymour Duncan logo, short mounting legs, and 4-conductor cable. Also available to order with your dream custom cosmetics!
