Questions & Answers

Would it be possible to put them with two volumes and two tones?

Without a doubt! There is no configuration factor that affects where hot leads go to the pickup selector switch. As long as everybody is on the same page, it doesn't matter what the ailment is. You don't actually need the wiring diagrams that come with the pickups since each configuration has its own wiring. Replace the old leads with the new ones by unsoldering the old ones and soldering the new ones. It shouldn't be a problem for you.

What color are they? Are they black and cream?

Although Seymour Duncan does not offer this set in Zebra (cream/black), we can get it for you or they can be purchased separately

Can these pickups be used with a Schecter Omen-type amp What do you mean by six electric guitars?

Having tried them in both a Telecaster and an Omen 6, they sounded fantastic

Can you tell me what the pickup spacing is?

The spacing for the bridge pickup of all Humbucker sets is the same.

Selected User Reviews For Seymour Duncan Distortion Mayhem Set Electric Guitar Electronics

I am amazed! These pickups were definitely made for metal playing
5/5

It is sometimes necessary to tamp down the volume due to the amount of sound these pickups can pick up. The pickups I originally had on my guitar were garbage, so I bought these and they are very impressive. The pots were upgraded to be from the USA as well, just so everything electronic was from the same place.

The pickup on the metal sound is simply outstanding
5/5

I would take all that with a grain of salt. These are DISTORTION pickups. With that in mind, IMHO, they are excellent. The fact that I had to go online to get the SD wiring diagram for my application is funny to me. After doing so, I have only NECK, BRIDGE options, and I think either I messed up the diagram or I didn't have the right diagram. It produces SOOOOO much output and distortion, so there is no need to change it for the time being. An output that is VERY VERY HIGH. It will do the trick if you are looking for hard rock metal sounds. The way to go if you want a clean house is not this. I liked the pickups though.

It slaps on an old Ibanez
5/5

I added these bad boys to a guitar and I can't live without them. Metallic distortion is perfect for metal, and a lot of stuff like Slipknot and Gojira work well with them.

You did a great job! With this upgrade for my PRS SE, I now have an instrument that sounds rich and rich with presence and It is not a spectacular result with cleans sounds, but it still sounds great
5/5

It is extremely impressive to hear that one coil is connected to a split coil, thus achieving the main goal!.

I'm in love with these puppies
5/5

The pickups are great, I just installed them in a Flying V kit I recently built and they work great. My neck pickup must have had a bad wire since it wasn't working, so I rewired it A set of SD Slash pickups is also in another guitar and they are also amazing. The SD card won't let you down.

This is the dream of every metal player
5/5

It's crazy how sick these pickups are. With them in the 23 year old Jackson King V, she sounds like she hasn't since the '70s! The can certainly hold their own when playing heavy metal or thrash metal. Adding volume and depth to the audio seems natural to me Your guitar will sound better and it will be able to handle any shredding you throw at it without losing If you're playing some heavy gain driven rock or metal, then these are the best for you.

Pickups for metal /m/ /m/ that sound great
5/5

The bass and mids are very aggressive and the sustain is exceptional. I used these pickups on my Dean ZX and it sounded better than ever before. If you have a good amp, you can get warm and clear tones.
