Designed in conjunction with Periphery’s Mark Holcomb to meet the versatile demands of his music, the Mark Holcomb Signature Series Alpha Pickup from Seymour Duncan is a passive humbucker intended for use in the neck position.
Fashioned to give you a fat and glassy sound, the Alpha nevertheless provides a tonality more articulate than your average neck pickup, bolstering pick attack and fretting-hand phrasing. In this manner, the Alpha borrows something from the timbre of a conventional bridge pickup, though without sounding harsh or tinny. The Alpha utilizes a ceramic magnet and its four-conductor lead can be wired for a variety of tonal options including series, parallel, and split-coil configurations. |
