black winter

Finally got the install done and I can say these things are a F@%ing BEAST! I have never had to tone down the gain and bass on my amp until I put these pups in. Only reason i am posting is to get others preference on amp settings. I'm at 3 'o clock gain and bass. Presence at 2 o'clock. I still...

I currently have a Jackson RR24Q (mahogany with maple neck 25'5) with SD Distortion in it. I like the tight lows but i find highs a bit harsh and mid lacking a bit. I'm thinking about switching the Distortion for either a Nazgul or a Black Winter. I don't know which one to choose. I'd like some...

Hi everyone, I'm thinking to change my current bridge pickup to get a new better sound, mainly what I'm looking for is high gain and heavy sound without risking clarity. I play in D Standard tuning and my guitar is a neck-thru Jackson with ash body and ebony fretboard. I've been going through...

I picked up a pair of Black Winters awhile back and finally decided to install them. I soon realized the raised baseplate on the neck pickup would result in the strings laying directly on it. They were going to go in a RG7421. I'm guessing there is no way to modify the baseplate to get them to...

i listened to some pickups and those 2 are the ones i like most by far, but i cant pick between them. the guitar im playing is a prs 24 with mahogany body, set thru maple neck, 25 scale length and rosewood fingerboard. i mostly play thrash, groove metal, and some nu metal (most times its only...

I have decided I would like some new pickups to replace my Kiesel Lithiums in my DC-700. I play both rhythm and lead stuff from all over the metal spectrum. I need something that chugs well but can handle more technical stuff so having good note separation is important. Having a good or at...

So after much consideration for my Jackson USA I have decided to buy a SD Black Winter set to find a better sounding pickup for the guitar and If it doesn't work I have a whole list of alternatives to try. I know that: you need to tin the iron cover the surface of your guitar with towels in...

First thread for me so let's jump right in! I have an old 2006ish C1 Hellraiser (6 string) that I just can't part ways with (the wife's favorite, many gigs, recordings, etc.) I've been an EMG guy for years but always loved Duncan's and Schecter pickups. Lately I've been growing tired of the...

I just picked up a PRS Custom 24 Hardtail that came with some Seymour Duncan custom shop Blackened Winters. I'm not sure if the only difference is the black font or if they're higher output than the normal BW set or something--there really isn't a lot of information readily available, but I'll...

Hi all:wavey:, I've been a lurker around the forums for a while and I finally decided to post in hopes that you fine folk can help me decide on a pickup. So I'm upgrading a fairly cheap guitar and am looking to change the pickups as the Duncan designed ones installed in are not really what I'm...
