Description
Back in ’78, Seymour Duncan wasn’t yet a household name on headstocks – he was the guy tone-obsessed players quietly went to when they needed something rewound and reworked to their exact specs. One customer handed him a P.A.F. and asked for a hotter wind with heightened sensitivity to both natural pinch harmonics and the artificial kind you get from tapping. Duncan delivered, and the recipe stuck.
The ’78 Model bridge humbucker recreates that specific rewind, right down to the Alnico 2 magnet and the same hot output that made the original so responsive. Alnico 2 brings a softer, more compressed low-end than hotter magnet options, which lets the increased output push into warm, chewy crunch rather than harsh distortion. Pick attack stays articulate even when you’re driving the front end of an amp hard, and tapped notes and harmonics jump out with real sustain instead of getting buried.
- Alnico 2 magnet for warm, rounded crunch with clarity intact
- Hot rewind spec matched to the original ’78 custom job
- Nickel cover
- Built for bridge position use
- Ideal for players leaning on tapped harmonics and whammy bar moves alongside classic rock rhythm tones
If your playing lives somewhere between hard-driving rhythm chords and expressive, harmonic-laden lead work – especially with a whammy bar in the mix – the ’78 Model gives you both without forcing a compromise.
