Shop Find Seymour Duncan Active Blackout Set

This set of pickups has spent its entire life in our repair shop without a guitar to call home. We most likely had the intention of putting these pickups into a guitar for a customer and they changed their mind or backed out. The packaging is open but the pickups themselves have never been installed, being tucked away in one of our parts cabinets for a couple of years. The pickups have the original packaging and all of the necessary wires and pots to install the active pickups. We are an authorized Seymour Duncan Dealer, these pickups have not left our store, and they are in mint condition. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

From Seymour Duncan's Website:
The original Blackouts high-output active bridge humbucker delivers all of the power and full-bodied punch that today’s metal players demand from an active pickup. You get the high-output signal level of an active pickup, with a more organic feel and open tonal response that allows the true character of your guitar to come through. The treble and bass response is extended beyond the range of traditional active pickups and has been carefully balanced with a slightly scooped midrange for the perfect crunch.

This pickup excels at screaming pinched harmonics and is articulate enough for hyper-speed riffage, with responsive dynamics across the entire fretboard. Pair it with the Blackouts neck humbucker for a perfectly matched set. If your metal goes into extended-range depths, Blackouts are also available in 7- and 8-string versions.

With clear highs and crushingly tight lows, these pickups will make your riffs speak all the way down to low B or dropped A (for 7-strings) and low F# or dropped E (for 8-strings). No matter how much gain you run, these pickups can handle it, with a dead-quiet, muscular performance.

Whether your instrument is routed for passive or active pickups, there is a Blackout that will fit it. These high-output active pickups come with the pots, hardware, quick-connector cables, capacitor (active pickups require a special cap value), output jack, battery clip, and wire needed for installation. If your guitar already has active pickups with quick-connector cables, you should be able to simply unplug them and plug in your Blackouts.
