Merciless high-output passive humbucker pickups created for the most
frigid Black Metal, Death Metal, or any other extreme style. As brutal
as the Scandinavian Winter.
The Black Winter pickup is a savagely high-output passive humbucker
built for extreme metal, with no less than three large ceramic magnets
to ensure maximum output and sustain in all high-gain situations. The
custom overwound coil design delivers incredible clarity in the mids and
highs, while the low end stays controlled and focused. The Black Winter
is designed to handle any tuning, no matter how low you go, and its
voicing facilitates aggressive palm mutes, fluid sweep picking, and
punishing lead tones.
Crushing distortion, vicious mids, and aggressive saturation are at
your fingertips, without sacrificing string-to-string separation or
sensitivity. The 7- and 8-string versions are built to handle even more
extended-range low notes with ease. Pair the bridge Black Winter with
the Black Winter neck model for maximum metal onslaught.
Hand made in Santa Barbara, CA, we offer the Black Winter for
6-string in standard humbucker and Trembucker sizes, as well as 7- and
8-string string passive mount (with naked coils… brrr!). The Black
Winter high-output passive humbucker ships with 4-conductor lead wire
for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free
operation.
