Seymour Duncan SH-6 Mayhem Humbucker Pickup Set, Black

Unleash unrelenting aggression and razor-sharp clarity with the Seymour Duncan Mayhem Set—a powerful humbucker pairing engineered for high-gain players who demand tight lows, searing highs, and brutal output. Designed to satisfy modern metal, hard rock, and progressive players, the Mayhem Set combines the crushing tones of the Duncan Distortion bridge and neck pickups into one cohesive, all-out assault on your amplifier. These passive pickups feature ceramic magnets and a 4-conductor wiring design that allows for versatile wiring options, including coil splitting and phase switching for expanded tonal range.

At the heart of the Mayhem Set lies the high-output Duncan Distortion bridge pickup. Built with a high-resonance ceramic magnet, it delivers saturated mids, aggressive attack, and tight bass response that cuts through dense mixes and high-gain amp settings with ease. Whether you’re chugging heavy riffs or delivering face-melting solos, this pickup retains exceptional note clarity and articulation. The neck pickup mirrors the same design ethos with a slightly lower output for smoother response and singing lead tones, making it ideal for fluid shred passages, sustained bends, and massive chord voicings.

Crafted to bring balanced tonal performance and relentless gain, the Mayhem Set is the go-to pickup configuration for guitarists looking to push the limits of their instrument without sacrificing control or expressiveness. These uncovered black humbuckers offer a clean, modern aesthetic and a drop-in fit for most guitars with an HH configuration. If you're ready to ignite your tone with the full fury of modern distortion, the Seymour Duncan Mayhem Set is built to deliver chaos on command.
