Seymour Duncan SM-3 Seymourized Mini Humbucker - Bridge
The Seymour Duncan SM-3 Seymourized Mini Humbucker - Bridge. FREE shipping anywhere in the USA!
Application Hotter-than-vintage mini-humbucker. Great for blues, classic rock, southern rock, jam and hard rock.
Description With this unique design, each coil contains a high-carbon steel blade coupled to the bottom-loaded Alnico V magnet. The result is more midrange, more clarity and more detail than the SM-2. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable.
Complete setup Available for both neck and bridge positions. The bridge version is high output. The neck version is compensated for tonal balance. Often, an SM-3b Seymourized is used in the bridge with an SM-1n Vintage in the neck for versatility.
Guitars For balanced and warm instruments. Works especially well with soft wood bodies (e.g., mahogany and swamp ash) and rosewood fingerboards.
Available mods Available in both neck or bridge models.
About the Guitars: We used a a '70s Firebird with a fresh set of American Flyer 10-46 gauge strings.
About the Amps: We employed the "highest common denominator" philosophy in our amp selection. For clean tones, we used a silverface Fender Super Reverb with stock 4x10 "blue frame" speakers. We kept the Bright Switch "On" throughout. For crunch tones, we used a well-worn Marshall JCM 800 50 watt master volume head through a new Marshall 1960A Celestion®-loaded 4x12 cabinet. We plugged into the High output. With both amps we close miked straight-on with SM-57s through a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Mixer.
