These Scooped pickups are a clever design from Seymour Duncan. They’re a real breath of fresh air if you’re looking for a vintage-inspired clean tone with the ability to really cut through with distortion – especially if you’re already using a lot of pedals. Ideal for players seeking a scooped mid-range without completely sacrificing warmth.
