Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor Pickup - Bridge - Black

Re-create an Iconic Thrash Metal Tone
You'll be hard-pressed to find a metal guitarist anywhere who doesn't respect Dave Mustaine's Rust in Peace-era tone. The tight lows, scooped mids, and aggressive highs that fueled that album's breakneck riffs, complex arrangements, fluid time signatures, and blazing-fast leads are the stuff of myths and legends. Now, thanks to Seymour Duncan, you can harness this two-fisted sound for yourself. Drop a Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor into your axe, crank up a British stack, and you'll re-create one of the most iconic guitar tones in metal history.




A JB unlike any other
Dave Mustaine's guitar tone on Rust in Peace epitomizes thrash metal. He primarily achieved this sound using a guitar loaded with a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB bridge pickup. Dave maintains that the sound of the JB in this guitar was markedly different than an off-the-shelf pickup. To create the Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor, Seymour Duncan worked closely with Dave, employing an altered winding process to duplicate the tone of his JB. The result is similar to an SH-4 JB, but with tighter lows, slightly scooped mids, and more aggressive highs. If you've been searching for a way to hot rod your axe, this is it!
