Seymour Duncan 78 Model - Bridge - Black - Humbucker - Electric Guitar Pickup

Product description

• In the late 70s Seymour Duncan was well known as the go-to guy for players that wanted something custom. Sometime in ‘78 Eddie Van Halen gave him a P.A.F. to experiment with along with instructions to rewind it with the intent to enhance the reproduction of artificial harmonics and “hot wind” a little for some extra “juice”.
• The Seymour Duncan ‘78 Model humbucker is the result of that experiment. Loaded with an Alnico 2 magnet and wound to the exact same hot specs as that original P.A.F. rewind the ‘78’s magnet and output combination lends itself to a warm crunch with biting leads and overtone laden tapped runs. While the ‘78 Model was not the final destination for Eddie it offers players the opportunity to revisit a waypoint in the early days of his legendary pursuit of the ultimate tone.
• If you’re a player who demands a high-performance tone and wants the classic hard rockin’ rhythm crunch articulate picked harmonics for your tapped solos and whammy bar acrobatics the ‘78 Model just may be your ticket.
