Seymour Duncan 78 Model Humbucker Black Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan 78 Model delivers a warm, articulate voice with vintage character and modern clarity—a responsive pickup that responds intuitively to pick dynamics and finger articulation. This 2-piece set pairs neck and bridge humbuckers optimized for players seeking classic output with tight definition across the frequency spectrum, equally at home in blues, classic rock, and hard-hitting modern styles.

Tone & Output Character

Built with Alnico 2 magnets and 42-gauge plain enamel wire, these pickups generate approximately 9k ohms DC resistance with strict output tolerance for predictable, hot-spec performance. The lightly waxed construction provides stability and reduced microphonic feedback while preserving the natural harmonic complexity that defines the 78 Model's reputation.

Construction & Compatibility

Each pickup features a black bobbin finish and ships with a 4-conductor lead for flexible wiring options, including series, parallel, and split configurations. Standard Gibson humbucker spacing ensures direct fit into most single-coil or humbucker-routed instruments without modification.
