Seymour Duncan TB-15 Alternative 8 Trembucker Pickup, Black Overview
The Seymour Duncan TB-15 Alternative 8 is a high output humbucker with Alnico 8 magnet for extra output. Perfect for all rock styles and great for use with high gain amps. Works great in most guitars set up for humbuckers, especially in balanced and warm instruments and those with rosewood fingerboards. The TB-15 is the same as the SH-15, but with wider pole spacing for string spacing of greater than two inches at the bridge.
Seymour Duncan’s first production pickup to use an Alnico 8 magnet, the SH-15 Alternative 8 starts with hot coils wound for maximum output. With the addition of the Alnico 8 magnet, output is enhanced with a huge, punchy sound, full of fat mids and present upper-mids. This is a dynamic pickup that doesn’t get “sizzly” or dark like some high-output ceramic magnet pickups.
Recommended for bridge position. Matches great with a moderate output neck pickup like the SH-1n ’59 or the SH-2n Jazz Model.
