New Perri Ink. Guitars With Own-Label Seymour Duncan Pickups

Perri Ink. – the company founded by guitarist Nick Perri of Silvertide – has introduced two new custom guitars, the South St and the Melrose. These instruments feature boldly different body styles to each other but they share a lot in common too: both feature quarter-sawn maple necks with reverse headstocks and rosewood fingerboards, solid alder bodies, vintage 6-hole tremolos, and a trio of Perri Ink. Label Seymour Duncan mini-humbucker pickups.

Both guitars are wired with 5-way pickup selector switches enabling in-between sounds as well as individual pickup settings. The guitars include GHS Strings, MONO Guitar Cases, and Certificates of Authenticity.

Nick began playing Seymour Duncan pickups in 2002 with Silvertide, and to this day uses them in most of his personal axes. “This collaboration is 11 years in the making and we couldn’t be more excited to bring you these incredible sounding American made pickups,” he says.

The Perri Ink. Label Seymour Duncan mini-humbuckers are based on the “Seymourized” Mini Humbuckers, slightly overwound versions of the classic mini-humbucker style pickup. Seymour Duncan finally tackled the age-old dilemma faced by most people who own Firebird style guitars; the neck pickup is always the sweet spot, and the bridge is usually a bit thin & weak, and never balanced correctly. The bridge pickup has been overwound to beef up the low end and cut some of those very shrill highs. Its output is strong, defined, and finally compliments the tone of the neck pickup. The neck pickup is the perfect compliment for the epic tones of the bridge version. Warm, clear, and full of sustain! By adjusting the gain on your amp you can easily achieve legendary blues, rock, and even heavy rock tones. “These mini-hums have balls,” Nick says. “They’re seriously the best mini-humbuckers on the planet!

The Perri Ink. Label Seymour Duncan full size humbuckers are based on the Custom Shop 78 Model, a slightly overwound PAF style pickup. The bridge pickup is vintage warm with a little extra bite and gain. With crystal clear string-to-string definition and rich harmonics just waiting under your fingertips, it really can live in both the vintage & modern worlds simultaneously. The neck pickup is the perfect compliment to our bridge humbucker. It’s warm, but has sparkle, and cuts thru a mix better than most neck pickups. Loud, clear, and sweeeeet. By adjusting the gain on your amp you can easily achieve legendary blues, rock, and heavy rock tones. “These pickups are no joke,” Nick says. “They’re the best we’ve ever heard.”

The Perri Ink. pickups are etched with the same process that you can request for your own Seymour Duncan Custom Shop pickup. You can see another example of the fruits of this process in the pickups we recently completed for Lamb of God guitarist Willie Adler.
