78 Model Trembucker
In
the late 70s, Seymour Duncan was well known as the go-to guy for the
tone-chasers that needed something custom. Sometime in ‘78 he was given a
P.A.F. with the instructions to rewind it and make it more sensitive to
natural and artificial harmonics. In other words, give it the Duncan
“hot wind” with a little extra.
The
Seymour Duncan ‘78 is loaded with an Alnico 2 magnet, wound to the
exact same hot specs as that original P.A.F. rewind. The magnet and
output combination lend themselves to a warm crunch with biting leads
and overtone laden tapped runs.
If
you'r a tone-chasing player who wants the classic hard rockin" rhythm
crunch, articulate picked harmonics for your tapped solos and whammy bar
acrobatics, the '78 Model is what you need.
DC Resistance: 9.10k. **You are purchasing the Trembucker-spaced variation (TB).
Pickup is 4 conductor
SH-1n 59 Model
Summary
A vintage-voiced, extremely versatile neck pickup that pairs well with most bridge humbuckers.
Description
The ’59 Model neck pickup is one of our most popular pickups
because it’s so versatile. It’s designed in the spirit of the original
P.A.F. humbuckers of the 1950s, with sweet sustain, full-sounding
chords, clear and bright attack, but we’ve made a few refinements to
slightly modernize the design and make it more adaptable to different
styles.
The ’59 has a full low end
which is great for adding character to your clean sounds and sustain to
your leads. The high end is slightly boosted for improved pick-attack
clarity and the mids are a little scooped for an open, smooth sound
that’s great for preserving the clarity of the individual notes in a
chord. Play softly and the mids and highs seem to fade back, but pick
hard and the note will be confident and clear. There isn’t a genre that
the ’59 can’t work within. It pairs nicely with a high output bridge
humbucker like the JB or Custom but is equally at home with more
moderate pickups like the ’59 bridge. And it’s a popular choice for
those with humbucker-routed Telecasters as well. And if you order a
four-conductor version for coil splitting, its single coil mode is
crystal clear.
The ’59
Model neck pickup is wound on Seymour’s Leesona 102 pickup winding
machine, the very one that was used in the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo,
MI in the 1950s. It comes standard with a long-legged nickel silver
bottom plate, vintage single conductor braided push back lead wire and
no logo.
