Seymour Duncan Hot Chicken & Jeff Loomis Noumenon Pickups

For the modern country guitarist, vintage-spec pickups bring the tone but don’t always make the cut in this era of higher gain. What is essential is something that brings heat and versatility without the lower output and noise.

Hot Chicken™ Strat® and Tele® pickups were designed with the contemporary country guitarist in mind. Tailored for today’s high-gain demands, these noiseless Stack® pickups deliver searing hotness that will cut through any mix, while retaining old school character, clarity, and definition.

Whether laying down scorching leads or simmering rhythm licks, these pickups ensure fiery country tone without the vintage hum. Spice up your sound and taste the difference with Seymour Duncan’s Hot Chicken™ pickups, designed to satisfy even the most discerning appetite for tone and performance.

Before active pickups like his signature Blackouts® became synonymous with Jeff Loomis’ sound in Nevermore, Arch Enemy and his solo work, Jeff’s foundational experiences in sculpting his highly influential metal tone were forged by passive humbuckers, bought from guitar catalogues in the 1980s. The Noumenon™ Signature Humbuckers call back to those formidable years, as Jeff wanted an option to achieve the dynamics and control that passive pickups offer.

The 6-string Noumenon™ set is built with Alnico 8 magnets, providing high output and thick bass, while maintaining a smooth treble response. The 7-string set is built with Alnico 5 magnets, necessary for maintaining tight low end and sharp attack. All Jeff Loomis Noumenon™ Signature Humbuckers are available with triangular feet bottom plates for standard humbucker routes and direct mounting in Jeff’s signature guitars.
