The Seymour Duncan Signature Dimebag Darrell Humbucker Pickup Set (Black) is crafted to deliver the iconic sound and power of the legendary guitarist. Designed for those who seek the ultimate in tone and performance, this pickup set highlights the key features that made Dimebag Darrell’s sound so distinctive.
At the heart of the set is the Dimebucker bridge pickup, known for its crunchy pick attack and scooped mids. This pickup offers just the right amount of saturation, providing a thick crunch that sags slightly under heavy playing. With a full, tight low end response and a ceramic magnet combined with dual stainless steel blades, the Dimebucker delivers a sound that's both aggressive and balanced.
The neck position features the '59 bridge pickup, a favourite of Dimebag for its warm, smooth power that complements the signature Dimebucker. This vintage-inspired pickup enhances solos with extra teeth, ensuring that every note cuts through with precision and warmth. The '59 bridge pickup’s smooth and crunchy distortion tone adds an extra layer of gain without causing the sound to break up excessively.
Dimebag Darrell himself described the Dimebucker's tone as “very saturated, not to the point where it's overly fuzzy but it has a smooth and crunchy distortion tone.” This ensures a warm tone mixed with distortion, delivering a low end that kicks while the top end cuts sharply but not harshly. The result is a sound that captures the essence of Dimebag’s playing, as heard on countless Pantera records.
The complete set is meticulously hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, ensuring the highest quality and performance. The Dimebucker bridge pickup features a ceramic bar magnet, dual stainless steel blades, and a 4-conductor lead wire for versatile wiring options. Both pickups are vacuum wax potted to ensure squeal-free performance, even under the most demanding conditions.
Vintage-inspired design elements such as the cloth braid hookup wires on the '59 bridge pickup add to the authenticity and quality of this set. The Seymour Duncan Signature Dimebag Darrell Humbucker Pickup Set is perfect for guitarists who demand powerful, clear, and aggressive tones that honour the legacy of one of metal’s greatest guitarists.
