An Iconic Custom Shop Collaboration
Maricela "MJ" Juarez began winding pickups at Seymour Duncan in 1983. Years later, as the head of the Custom Shop, she fulfilled a dream: working with Peter Frampton. From this meeting came a humbucker set specially wound for him, later used on countless recordings and concerts. This MJ's 40th Anniversary edition pays tribute to this craftsmanship, with a set reproduced along the same lines and spirit.
Who Is It For and What Sounds Does It Deliver?
The "Frampton Comes Alive" set is aimed at guitarists seeking a vintage humbucker pickup with a lively touch: precise attacks, beautiful pick nuances, natural sustain, and vocal upper mids. Ideal on a Les Paul-style guitar, it excels in blues-rock, classic rock, and any style where a "singing" tone is desired. It also pairs perfectly with a talk box and overdrives, maintaining definition and great dynamics.
