Description
Seymour Duncan AHB-3 Mick Thomson Signature Blackouts represent the pinnacle in active guitar pickup technology. Mick Thomson of Slipknot needed a set of six-string Blackouts customized to complement the complex, crushing riffs he plays in dropped tunings.“I had them tighten up the bottom because tuning low like we are, you don’t need that lower ‘woof,’” Thomson says. “And I had the top end adjusted a little bit for more cut without being harsh or scratchy. They’re extremely quiet, they’re extremely clean and they have a lot more tone than the typical active pickup. They sound more real. The harmonics are richer. It’s a bigger sound across a wider range of frequencies.”
