When looking to achieve the arena-rock tones of the late 1970s, guitarists at GearNuts rely on the Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special humbuckers. This set of humbuckers is designed to recreate the familiar late-1970s arena-rock tone, with Alnico IV magnets producing warm cleans and articulate overdriven tones. The set comes standard with 4-conductor wiring, maple spacers, and short mounting legs, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to create arena-rock tones.

The Saturday Night Special humbuckers are specifically voiced to be a bit hotter and fatter in the bridge position, making them ideal for reproducing the legendary late-70s rock tones. The neck pickup is designed to be clearer and less wooly, providing an excellent match for the bridge pickup.

In addition to their classic tone, these humbuckers are more aggressive than vintage 50s style P.A.F.'s, without the compression of most high gain pickups, bridging the output level gap between vintage 50's and modern humbuckers. The cleans produced by these pickups are warm and musical, with high end clarity that is never harsh.

The Saturday Night Special Set is proudly made in the USA, in Santa Barbara, California. It comes standard with four-conductor wiring, maple spacer, and short mounting legs. These features, combined with their classic yet modern tone, make the Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special humbuckers a top choice for guitarists seeking that iconic arena-rock sound.
