We’re excited to announce the release of the new Eric Steckel Signature “Candy” Humbucker Set, available now from the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop.

Eric Steckel is a blues prodigy with a sonic signature all his own. Whether playing with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers or garnering international accolades as a solo artist, he continues to shatter blues norms. His “Bluesmetal,” high-gain tone is as captivating and rich as any players that have gone before him. And he gets it with his Seymour Duncan Eric Steckel Signature “Candy” Humbucker Set.

The Steckel Signature Humbuckers are spot-on recreations of the Alnico III humbuckers found in “Candy,” the 1960 Les Paul behind Steckel’s signature Knaggs guitar. From boasting the exact pickup readings to matching relic’ing—by Knaggs Guitars’ own Joe Knaggs and Lukas Fronzoli—every detail of the originals are represented. The “Candy” Humbucker Set is also available in a variety of options, including single or 4-conductor wiring, covered or uncovered, aged or unaged, and more. So no matter what look you’re after, you’ll enjoy the same level of nuanced response that inspires Steckel every time he picks up his guitar.
