Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Neck White Pickup

Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Neck White Pickup

The Little '78 Strat Neck delivers the warmth and articulation of a classic '78-era single-coil in a compact, hum-canceling format. This single-coil-sized humbucker slots seamlessly into standard Stratocaster neck positions without routing, offering players the clarity of vintage Strat tones without unwanted 60-cycle hum. Built by hand in Santa Barbara, it bridges the gap between single-coil character and humbucker noise rejection.

Tone & Design

The Alnico 5 magnet structure creates the responsive, punchy response typical of '70s-era Strat pickups—clean articulation in the treble and mids with natural compression in the lows. The 9.62k DC resistance at the neck position maintains the brightness and bell-like quality essential to classic Strat voice, preventing the muddiness that can come with overwound neck pickups.

Construction & Wiring

A 4-conductor shielded cable provides maximum flexibility for coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring configurations, opening the door to tonal experimentation beyond a standard neck pickup setup. Handmade construction in Santa Barbara ensures consistent quality and the attention to detail Seymour Duncan is known for.
