Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special Black Pickup Set

The Saturday Night Special delivers articulate, vintage-influenced tone with modern clarity and punch. These black uncovered pickups are engineered for players seeking balanced output across neck and bridge positions without sacrificing dynamics or definition. Built with classic Alnico 4 magnets and Santa Barbara craftsmanship, this set excels in rock, blues, and alternative contexts where responsiveness and character matter.

Tone & Output Character

DC Resistance of 9.75k (bridge) and 7.90k (neck) provides articulate midrange with controlled output—neither overly aggressive nor thin. The Alnico 4 magnet preserves note clarity and sustain while maintaining sensitivity to picking dynamics and finger vibrato.

Construction & Installation

Four-conductor wiring enables series/parallel switching and coil-tap options for circuit flexibility. Wax-potting eliminates microphonic feedback, while the maple spacer and short mounting legs ensure secure fitment and proper string-to-magnet clearance across standard guitar configurations.
