A "Custom Shop" Spirit Born in the Golden Age of Rock
In the late 70s, Seymour Duncan established itself as the go-to brand for guitarists seeking custom pickups. The "'78 Model" embraces this philosophy: starting from a P.A.F base, precisely rewinding it, and adding that extra responsiveness that emphasizes harmonics and dynamics without losing the vintage tone that defined the era.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Designed for the bridge position, this pickup targets guitarists wanting an expressive rock and hard rock sound: fiery crunch, biting leads, and excellent responsiveness to modern techniques (bend, vibrato, legato, tapping). It remains sensitive to touch and volume control, making it a solid choice for transitioning from a tight riff to a singing solo without losing character.
