A Pickup Born from a Very Specific Request: More Harmonics, More Personality

In the late 1970s, Seymour Duncan established himself as a reference for guitarists seeking custom pickups. In 1978, a guitarist entrusted him with a P.A.F. to rewind with a clear idea: to make it more responsive to natural and artificial harmonics, while adding a more aggressive "house" touch. The Little '78 is inspired by this now iconic recipe, making it accessible to Strat-type guitars without any routing.

Who Is the Little '78 Bridge For?

This model is designed for guitarists who find their single-coil pickup too tame in the bridge position and want to gain output level, thickness, and noise-free operation. It excels for rock, hard rock, and expressive lead tones, while maintaining good definition for tight rhythm playing. With its cream cover, it naturally fits vintage or "aged" look configurations.

Strat Format, Humbucker DNA: An Immediate Boost Without Routing

The Lil'78 (single-coil format) features a dual coil to deliver the punch and density of a humbucker, with a dynamic response that highlights harmonics. Its Alnico V magnets provide attack, a solid low-end, and present highs without harshness. The 4-conductor cable facilitates modern setups (split, push-pull, advanced selectors) to expand the tonal palette between thick and cutting, depending on your wiring.
