Seymour Duncan '78 Model Humbucker Set Red/White Zebra Trembucker Set - Bridge & Neck - Factory Cosmetic 2nds

Factory cosmetic 2nds with imperfections to the bobbins. Difficult to capture in pictures but 2nd and 3rd pics are our attempt at showing some of the imperfections. They are just cosmetic imperfections on the bobbins and will not effect the sound or durability of the pickups at all. Also, they are pretty difficult to see at arm's length but we are authorized Duncan dealers and are picky about making sure our customers are receiving 1st quality products.

Seymour Duncan '78 Model Trembucker Pickup Bridge and Neck Pickup Set - Red/White Zebra

The Seymour Duncan ‘78 Model humbucker delivers warm crunch with biting leads and overtone laden tapped runs.
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.
