Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor Passive Humbucker Pickup Set - White

Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor Passive Humbucker Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor Passive Humbucker Pickup Set recreates the aggressive guitar tone associated with Megadeth’s landmark Rust in Peace era. Developed with Dave Mustaine, the set combines a specially wound high-output Thrash Factor bridge pickup with his preferred SH-1n ’59 neck humbucker for tight rhythms, articulate leads, and balanced two-pickup performance.

Designed for six-string electric guitars, this Dave Mustaine signature pickup set targets thrash metal, hard rock, and other high-gain styles requiring fast response and controlled low frequencies. Compared with a standard JB-style bridge pickup, the Thrash Factor delivers tighter bass, slightly scooped mids, and more aggressive highs. The ’59 neck pickup adds clarity and definition for solos, clean passages, and fluid lead work.

Both passive humbuckers use 4-conductor shielded cables for flexible professional wiring configurations and carry Dave Mustaine’s printed signature. The matched neck and bridge combination helps preserve the intended voicing and phase relationship across pickup positions. Each set is hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, and is offered in five coordinated color and cover variants: black nickel, gold, nickel, white, and zebra.
