The Mayhem Set features a Duncan Distortion bridge pickup, Seymour Duncan's original high-output humbucker, which incorporates a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings to deliver well-balanced rock and metal tones that have rich upper mid-range harmonic content. Great for hard-hitting, crunchy rhythms and searing lead tone. Riffs are tight and percussive and lead work is fast and immediate with ultraclear pick dynamics.

It also has a Duncan Distortion neck pickup, originally known as the SH-7 Seymourizer, specifically designed for use with the matching high-output bridge version. It is hot enough to deliver smooth, fluid solo tones under high gain, while still producing bell-like clean tones.

Hand built in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara, CA, factory, the Duncan Distortion uses a large ceramic bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. Seymour Duncan's original high-output ceramic humbuckers, the Duncan Distortion neck and bridge are perfectly suited for aggressive rock and metal players.
