Seymour Duncan 78 Model Humbucker Pickup Set - Nickel Cover

Founded by Seymour Duncan in 1978, the company quickly gained a reputation for its innovative guitar pickups. Shortly after opening, Seymour was given a PAF pickup and asked to rewind it in order to enhance its sensitivity to natural and artificial harmonics. The result was the Seymour Duncan ’78 humbucker, a pickup designed for those seeking the classic PAF tone with an added punch.

The ’78 humbucker is popular among guitarists at GearNuts for its uncompressed sound and rich overtones, making it ideal for capturing vintage hard-rock and classic metal tones. Despite its high output, these pickups also deliver crystal-clear cleans when the gain is dialed back. Whether you're into high-gain dive-bombs or tapped solos, the Seymour Duncan ’78 humbucker is the perfect choice.

Key features of the Seymour Duncan ’78 humbucker set include its design, which is modeled after one of Seymour's rewound PAF pickups from the late '70s, and an Alnico 2 magnet that captures the essence of old-school hard-rock tones. The result is a hot-rodded PAF-style pickup set that delivers exceptional performance and versatility.

For guitarists seeking a powerful and authentic tone, the Seymour Duncan ’78 humbucker set is a top choice. Upgrade your electric guitar with this nickel-covered neck and bridge pickup set, and experience the classic sound of the ‘70s with a modern twist.
