Seymour Duncan 78 Model Bridge White Pickup
The Seymour Duncan 78 Model Bridge captures vintage humbucker character with articulate midrange and controlled output that cuts through a mix without dominating it. This medium-output pickup excels in bridge positions where clarity and definition are essential for tracking and mixing, offering a balanced response that translates across genres from blues and rock to classic rock and funk. Hand-built in California, it maintains the exacting standards Seymour Duncan is known for, ensuring consistent performance across sessions.
Tone & Construction
Voiced for vintage character with modern consistency, the 78 Model uses an Alnico II magnet paired with 42-gauge plain enamel wire to achieve warm, articulate output without excessive aggression. The 8.82k output sits in the medium range, delivering clarity and note definition ideal for bridge position recording while maintaining dynamic responsiveness to pick attack and playing dynamics—essential for capturing nuanced performances in the studio.
Installation & Compatibility
A 4-conductor shielded cable provides wiring flexibility for coil-splitting and phase configurations, expanding your sonic palette during recording and mixing sessions. Standard humbucker routing accommodates this pickup in any bridge position, with the four-conductor design enabling advanced switching options for session versatility.
