Seymour Duncan launches the Alternative 8
New pickup rocks hard and rocks loud
The MusicRadar Team, Mon 21 Apr 2008, 3:09 pm UTC
Although many players will tell you that great guitar tone is all about lower output, vintage-wound pickups, there is still plenty of demand for hot humbuckers that ooze filth.
The new SH-15 Alternative 8 from Seymour Duncan is the company’s first production pickup to utilise an Alnico 8 magnet, and is wound hot for maximum output with punchy mids.
The Alternative 8 is recommended for the bridge position and is available uncovered, or with gold or nickel covers. For more information, visit the official Seymour Duncan website.
Also, it’s not too late to enter the company’s Gear Experts product demonstration contest. Click here for more.
