We were thrilled to hear the news that Seymour Duncan received two nominations for the prestigious  Music & Sound Awards, presented each year at  NAMM by Music & Sound Retailer magazine. The company was singled out in the Accessories category for the APH-2 Alnico II Slash pickup, but Seymour  W. Duncan himself was nominated for the Music & Sound Hall of Fame/Lifetime Achievement Award.

Here’s what Seymour had to say about the  recognition: “I’m honored to receive the Lifetime Achievement Hall of Fame nomination, especially on the eve of our 35th Anniversary. It’s really meaningful coming from all the dealers we’ve worked with for years. That’s why I feel this is really for everyone in our company. Many people know we’ve helped players get great tone, from guys like Jeff Beck and Slash, to thousands of musicians everywhere. But dealers know how we’ve tried to be helpful and respectful toward the people who represent us, with fair terms, quality products, and our 21-Day Real-World Guarantee. You’ve helped us help musicians. And for that, I thank you.”
