Seymour Duncan GUS G. FIRE Blackouts System (AHB-11) Pickup

Spec:
Position: Bridge, Neck
Magnet: Alnico 2
Wire: 4c Shield
Type: Passive

matched set of two traditionally constructed humbuckers and a battery-powered Blackouts dual preamp was created for Gus G., who wanted the power of high output active pickups without sacrificing the hair-trigger response of his favorite Seymour Duncan passive pickups.

This system combines the massive tone, kick, and distortion of Blackouts with the rich tone and expressive feel of my favorite passive pickups, says Gus. It responds perfectly to all my picking techniques, and more of my personality comes through than with any active pickup I’ve tried.

Includes two humbuckers and a high-output, low-noise Blackouts dual preamp that replaces one of your volume pots. Uses a bare-wire lockdown system so that no soldering is required when replacing active pickups. Includes three 25K potentiometers for players migrating from a passive setup, plus all necessary hardware.

Details:
• Combines active and passive. The Gus G. Fire Blackouts System is a matched set of two passive humbucking pickups and a dual preamp that replaces one of the guitar’s volume pots.
• Traditional humbucker design with individual pole pieces provides the note definition and string-to-string feel of passive pickups.
• Alnico 5 magnets deliver rich, detailed tones. The bridge pickup’s larger magnet adds more low-mids for fatter, fuller-sounding leads.
• Custom-wound coils create a remarkably open, airy sound.
• A high-output, low-noise differential dual preamp captures every nuance of the passive-style pickups—with plenty of headroom. Most other active preamps clip too easily, decimating your dynamics.
• Long battery life. A single 9-volt battery provides approximately 750 hours of playing time.
• Bare-wire lockdown connectors. Uses the same solderless connectors as our Liberator Pickup Change System. No soldering required if replacing existing active pickups. Screwdriver included.
• Includes three additional 25K potentiometers for users who are replacing passive pickups.
• Organic sound. Instead of tone that sounds as if it was created by a preamp, you’ll hear the wood of your guitar. You’ll hear your picking style. You’ll hear you.
