Seymour Duncan Slug Rail Bridge Humbucker, Black

Description

The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Slug is a monster of a bridge humbucker, engineered for players who tune low and hit hard. It’s voiced with an ultrahigh output that stays tight and articulate even under heavy gain, making it a natural fit for progressive metal, death metal, and anything else that demands crushing low-end weight without turning to mud.

Tonally, the Slug leans aggressive: expect fat, punishing lows, thick and boosted midrange that helps riffs cut through a dense mix, and searing highs that keep pick attack and harmonics from getting lost in the chaos. It’s a pickup built to translate palm-muted chugs and sweeping leads with equal intensity.

One key spec to know before you install this pickup: the Slug’s bobbin measures 2.87 inches, slightly longer than a standard humbucker. Because of that extended length, Seymour Duncan ships this pickup with a custom mounting ring designed to fit it properly, so you won’t be left scrambling for a compatible ring at install time.
