Seymour Duncan 78 Humbucker Pickup Set - Black

Seymour Duncan opened up shop in 1978 and was given a PAF with the instructions to make it more sensitive to natural and artificial harmonics. Just a couple of years after that, the Seymour Duncan ’78 was created, modeled after the hot pickup with a more powerful punch for tone chasers seeking an authentic PAF tone. GearNuts guitarists have found that the ’78’s uncompressed and overtone-filled sound is perfect for capturing old-school hard-rock and classic metal tones. These ’buckers also offer uncompromising crystal-clear cleans when dialing back the gain. For those into high-gain dive-bombs and tapped solos, the ’78 is the perfect choice. The Seymour Duncan ’78 Humbucker Set features a design modeled after one of Seymour’s rewound PAF pickups from the late ‘70s, an Alnico 2 magnet, and hot-rodded PAF-style tones. It is the ideal choice for electric guitar players seeking that vintage hard-rock sound.
