Seymour Duncan 78 Model Neck Humbucker Pickup - Gold

Seymour Duncan opened up shop in 1978 and was given a PAF to rewind, with instructions to make it more sensitive to natural and artificial harmonics. Just a couple of years after this, the Seymour Duncan ’78 was created, modeled after that hot pickup. It was built for tone chasers who seek an authentic PAF tone with a more powerful punch. 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. Even when the gain is dialed back, these ’buckers offer crystal-clear cleans. If high-gain dive-bombs and tapped solos are your thing, the ’78 is the perfect choice. The Seymour Duncan ’78 Neck Humbucker features a design modeled after one of Seymour’s rewound PAF pickups from the late ‘70s, an Alnico 2 magnet design that captures old-school hard-rock tones perfectly, and hot-rodded PAF-style tones with uncompromising crystal-clear cleans.
