Seymour Duncan Slug & El Diablo Pickups

Seymour Duncan introduce two of the most hard rocking and metal pickups in their range

For two decades, El Diablo has been an artist favorite and one of Seymour Duncan's best-selling Custom Shop made-to-order models. It sounds as vicious as it looks. It holds a super-hot wind and the twin Alnico 2 blade magnets deliver the “what you see is what you get” bold aesthetics that separate it from all other high-output humbuckers. The blade magnets and extra hot DC resistance make the El Diablo one of the best pickups made for players that want thick and tight saturation for percussive rhythms and warm leads that push through the mix. Slightly longer than a standard humbucker, the El Diablo comes with custom mounting ring. If mounting in a pickguard slight modification may be required.

Since the late 60’s when heavy metal emerged, guitarists have been looking for ways to deliver bigger and heavier riffs as the genre evolved. When Seymour Duncan designed the SLUG, they wanted it to be the gnarliest and most powerful passive humbucker they’ve ever produced. Oozing an immense 48k DCR and double ceramic magnets, SLUG delivers a monstrous sound that is perfect for the slow charging, bass heavy, riffage that dominates stoner and doom metal. Slightly longer than a standard humbucker, SLUG comes with a custom mounting ring to accommodate its 2.87” bobbin length. If mounting in a pickguard slight modification may be required.
