Seymour Duncan Custom Shop FLF Model Ryan "Fluff" Bruce Signature Bridge Humbucker (11828-160)

Unleash crushing high-gain tightness, percussive low-end bite, and expressive lead articulation with the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop FLF Model Bridge Humbucker (Part Number: 11828-160). Hand-crafted in Santa Barbara, California, this signature pickup was custom engineered for YouTube star and Dragged Under guitarist Ryan "Fluff" Bruce. Designed as the primary voice of Fluff's limited-edition Ernie Ball Music Man Artist Series StingRay guitar, the FLF Model combines hybrid coil geometry with an Alnico 4 bar magnet to deliver the ultimate drop-tuned rhythm crunch and singing high-gain lead tone.

Angkor Music Technical Evaluation: JB / Black Winter Hybrid Coils & Alnico 4 Dynamics

The engineering secret behind the FLF Model is its unique hybrid architecture: it merges one coil from the iconic **JB Model (SH-4)** with one coil from the ultra-aggressive **Black Winter**. Wound to a high-output **16.6k DC resistance**, Seymour Duncan custom-voiced this hybrid pairing with an **Alnico 4 bar magnet**. Alnico 4 bridges the gap between Alnico 2 softness and Alnico 5 scoop, delivering a throaty, focused midrange punch and tight low-end tracking for aggressive palm-muted drop tunings without becoming harsh or ice-picky on top.

E-E-A-T Performance Standards: Workshop Verification & Custom Shop Wiring

At Angkor Music, our guitar tech workbench routinely installs and configures high-output custom shop pickups. Wiring & Switching Flexibility: The FLF Model comes equipped with 4-conductor shielded lead wire, allowing for coil-splitting, series/parallel, and phase-switching mods. Dynamic Cleanup: Despite its heavy 16.6k DC resistance, backing off your guitar's volume knob rolls off high-gain saturation into a surprisingly chimey, mellow clean tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Alnico 4 magnet special in the Seymour Duncan FLF pickup?
Alnico 4 provides a flatter, more balanced frequency response than Alnico 2 or 5. It retains tight, punchy low-end response for drop tunings while keeping the highs smooth and buttery during soloing.

Can I split the coils on the Seymour Duncan FLF Model?
Yes. The FLF Model comes with a 4-conductor shielded cable, allowing you to wire it for coil-splitting, series/parallel switching, or standard humbucking operation.

Is this pickup designed for drop-tuned playing?
Absolutely. Ryan "Fluff" Bruce specified the hybrid coil structure and Alnico 4 magnet specifically to keep lower-tuned strings (such as Drop C, Drop B, or lower) percussive, tight, and clear under heavy distortion.
