Just a couple of years after Seymour Duncan opened up shop in 1978, the story goes that he was given a PAF and instructed to rewind it and “make it more sensitive to natural and artificial harmonics.” The Seymour Duncan ’78 is modeled after that same hot pickup, built for discerning tone chasers who crave an authentic PAF tone, but with a more powerful punch. Guitarists find that the ’78’s uncompressed and overtone-filled sound is perfect for capturing old-school hard-rock and classic metal tones. That said, when it comes time to dial back the gain, these ’buckers also offer uncompromising crystal-clear cleans. If high-gain dive-bombs and tapped solos are your thing, look no further than the ’78!

• Alnico 2 magnet design perfectly captures old-school hard-rock tones
• Hot-rodded PAF-style tones with greater output and punch
