Product Description

With low-noise design, the active bridge and neck humbuckers will deliver bags of crystal clear tone without the annoyance of excess hum and buzz. Ideal for modern genres like pop, rock and metal, the Seymour Duncan original AHB-1S Blackout humbuckers use use blade magnets enabling compatibility with both humbucker and Trembucker string spaces, boasting ease of playability. Plug in and see for yourself just how high you can make your axe soar!

Here's what Seymour Duncan say about the original AHB-1S Blackout humbuckers:

Application
9-volt active humbucker for aggressive playing styles. Recommended for old school metal, garage, punk, thrash, drop tunings, and other heavy rock styles.

Description
The "other" USA-made active humbuckers use unbalanced inputs in a differential preamp. The problem is, an unbalanced differential preamp is not very effective at cancelling hum. Our engineers figured out how to capture the tone that players want in an active design, but using balanced inputs. The result is 12dB to 14dB less noise, plus more lows, more highs, and more output. Simply put, Blackouts have more tone than other active pickups.

Complete setup
Blackouts are available in individual neck and bridge models, or as a two-pickup set. All versions come with all necessary mounting hardware, including pots, jack, and a battery clip.

Guitars
For all humbucker guitars. The blade magnets make this pickup suitable for both humbucker and Trembucker string spacings.

Perfect for my current build. Great output and clarity. Easy Install. The pots are a bit stiff but that's a minor concern and easily swapped out if it's not what you want.

Bought to put in a cheap donkey les paul copy and gave it a new lease of life. Just with they went full solderless like emg rather than partial just to the pickups. Oddly didnt come with springs
