Description
Back in 1978, a player walked into Seymour Duncan’s shop with a P.A.F. and a very specific request: rewind it hotter, and make it sing with natural and artificial harmonics. Duncan obliged, and the result became a legend in its own right—the ’78 Model.
Under the white cover sits an Alnico 2 magnet, wound to those exact hot specs from the original rewind. That pairing of vintage-flavored magnet and boosted output gives you a distinctive voice: warm, saturated crunch on rhythm parts that never turns muddy, paired with leads that bite without losing their edge.
Where the ’78 really earns its reputation is in the details—pick harmonics jump out cleanly, tapped passages ring with overtone-rich clarity, and whammy bar dives stay articulate instead of collapsing into mush. It’s built for players who lean on dynamics and touch as much as gain.
