These are the Green Magic Humbuckers and their origin story is as legendary and their tone, so lets take a closer look--

The magic is this Duncan humbucker pickup set stems from an honest mistake back in the 60s when Peter Green had a neck pickup installed with the magnet put back in the wrong direction creating an out of phase sound when both pickups were selected.
This epic midrange honk turned out to be a key ingredient in Green’s supernatural sound, along with his epic ‘59 Les Paul of course.
But it’s not just about flipping a magnet 180 degress, Duncan based the Green Magic pickups on some of the finest vintage PAFs around, with a formula based what MJ used in the Duncan Custom Shop builds years back.

When isolated, these humbuckers are all about vintage PAF tone with Alnico II magnets, excellent clarity by not being overwound and resistance of 7.7k on the neck and 8.7K on the bridge to help with output balance. With both pickups on and out of phase, you can back off either pickup volume and explore sonic sculpting brought on by the shifting frequencies being cut, from classic midrange quack to just a touch of low end roll off and mid emphasis. The Seymour Duncan Green Magic humbucker set is available in a variety of cover options to fit your style and come with a 4 conductor wire for extra wiring choices such as coil splitting or series/parallel..
