Our hearts are with everyone who has been affected by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, which have left so many devastated. As a company founded in Southern California nearly 50 years ago by musicians, for musicians, we feel deep connections to so many in this region and a responsibility to assist those in need.

We know that full recovery will be a massive task, and we want to help. Today, we are announcing two initial ways in which we are supporting our community.

First, Seymour Duncan has made a donation to MusicCares, whose work providing relief to musicians is more critical than ever.

Secondly, we’re launching a program to aid musicians who lost gear. If you’ve been affected, please fill out our official form on our website at www.seymourduncan.com/ca-fire-relief. Over the next few weeks, we’ll review applications and distribute assistance, doing our best to support as many musicians as we are able.

This is the beginning of a long recovery process for many, and we will continue to look for ways to lend our support. Whether you play guitar for yourself or for thousands, you know that music is a force for good, which we need now more than ever.
