The True Duo Bucker/ Blast (TDB) pickups are a group of magnetic pickups designed by and produced for Ibanez.

The True Duo Bucker is exclusive to the SA series, in the bridge position. The True Duo Blaster is found on the SV series, both in neck and bridge position, along with a Short Tracer pickup in the mid.

Whichever the series, these humbuckers all benefits from the True Duo switch.
