In his youth, Seymour Duncan spent time in London and aided fellow young
guitar players with defining their sound through pickups. This wouldn't
be much of a story if one of these lads didn't go on to change the
world! Seymour's special rewound PAFs went into a Les Paul and captured a
sound that blasted through a Marshall stack and into history. These
same pickups are now available as the Whole Lotta Humbucker.
The recipe for these pickups starts with a rough cast Alnico 5
magnet, plain enamel wire, and Seymour's unique wind pattern. The bridge
is a hotter-than-vintage 8.78k DC resistance and the neck is similarly
beefy at 8.20k. Tonally, the rough cast magnets add warmth and balanced
note-to-note clarity so everything sounds bigger. What is sonically
unique about the Whole Lotta Humbucker pickups is the way that they push
your amp and add a very slight natural compression and sustain to your
playing. You know how they sound!
complete setup
Use the Whole Lotta Humbucker set for the “original” sound or try the
bridge with an Alnico 2 magnet neck pickup, like the Pearly Gates, for a
distinct in-between position tone. Utilize the 4-conductor cable on
each pickup with push/pull pots or mini-switches for complete
flexibility. **You are purchasing BOTH BRIDGE AND NECK PICKUPS**
guitars
Use in any Mahogany or warm-toned solid body guitar with a Rosewood fingerboard for the “original” sound.
