78 is one of my all time favorite pickups ever. It’s never done me wrong. Jay

Love them

I swapped the bridge Pearly Gates on my US Lone Star Strat for the 78 Model. So far, I am impressed with the tone. I kept the Pearly Gates for when I decide to reinstall it later.

Easy to order, and the pick-up is awesome. . . . as advertised. I put it in my Jeff Beck Strat along with the fabulous YJM Fury in the neck, man what a all star combo!

Great guitar pickup that makes your playing better, because of the articulation you get . The Harmonics pop no matter maple or any other fret board wood . Thanks SD

Very nice pickup versatile and clean sounding love all seymour duncan pickups I've bought so far thanks!

Great pickup! The only issue was that I had to drill a hole in my Fender Stratocaster pickguard as it originally had 2+1 mounting instead of standard 2 screws but that's more a Fender problem. Out of 3 holes on the Trembucker only the middle one has a thread. I was able to install it myself with my dad after watching the Seymour Duncan Pickup Installation course 101. Great way to learn the basics but in the reality was a bit more complex as my guitar also had an S-1 switch.

I love it!

I’m really glad I got this pickup. It does Van Halen tones really well and, when running through my Marshall DSL, sounds kind of like a fusion with Ratt. To be honest, it actually took me a few days to get used to the sound of this pickup because the pickup I replaced it with was a stock ESP pickup with really dark/muddy sound (which didn’t match my all-maple guitar very well) and having owned the guitar for 10 years, that was the sound that I was used to. So when I plopped this hot-wind PAF-style pickup on there, I was completely thrown by the change in sound. Once I re-dialed in my amp, I knew I’d made the right choice. It’s got no mud at all, very tight bottom end, and a hot, bitey top end giving you that iconic brown sound. It’s also very clear, even with high gain in the amp you can really hear the individual notes of a chord. I wouldn’t say it’s a very versatile pickup (not like the JB), and it doesn’t have to be because it makes its tone and it does it really well.

KILLER SOUND!

This is the perfect match for my Duncan Custom 5 (bridge) installed on my PRS Custom 24. Had a Jazz on the Neck position and it didn't feel right. Too glassy, very thin. Needed something more bassy with a little more output to match the Custom 5. Now everything's sublime. I think it's the Alnico 2.

love my new pickup. Customer service rep was great!

I’ve only had it in for a few days but so far it might be my favorite pickup of all time.

I still have t received my pickups and not happy about it!

Exactly what I was looking for. Simply the best pickups are made by SD...end of story. Thank you so much!!

The best rock n roll pup on the planet.

Perfect pickup for my purpose. Very happy!

Sound great.

Exactly as described. A vintage sounding PAF with a little extra juice. After using DiMarzio PAF style pickups for the last decade, I decided to try something new for my latest Telecaster build. Glad I did. This thing nailed the Brown Sound going straight into my Marshall Plexi, without the need for any additional boost. BUT it retained the clarity of a classic PAF. Paired wonderfully with a Jazz in the neck.

after three other pickups, this is the tone I wanted. incredible harmonics, lots of volume and the perfect balance of eq.

Absolutely love it!!!! All of my guitars have seymour duncan pickups (45) . The '78 was a perfect fit for my first built from scratch guitar.

Great pick ups.

Great humbucker!

Dropped a ‘78 into my 2018 Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 1 because I needed more mids. Although the JB’s sound great, I just needed to cut through a little more!

Awesome pickup! Just as advertised breathed new life into my old Strat!

This thing sounds very rock n roll I made the right choice on this one.

Installed in a new Kramer Baretta Special. Huge improvement over the fairly decent original pickup. Sounds awesome with the coil split as well, it's a very versatile pickup.

This pickup rocks! I put it in the bridge of a HSS strat and it definitely delivers the "Eddie" tones I was looking for.

Love it! Perfect for a one-pickup guitar.

Hot enough, but not overpowering. Closer to my Slash bridge pickup than my Custom 5 or my '59. Dropped into Les Paul, plugged into Marshall JTM45, then Blackstar HT5, then Deluxe Reverb with Keeley Oxblood, then JCM2000 through 1960VA cab, played Panama, Runnin' with the Devil, Unchained, etc. Probably got the closest I've gotten to those tones.

Awesome. A piece of history revamped in the present.

I met Seymour Duncan in 1982, in Santa Barbara while going to UCSB, tagging along with a bass playing friend going after a Qtr pounder PU for his bass I was already convinced that speakers (I bought an EVM 12L that year) and PU’s are key to a good sound, but I didn’t Buy my first SD product until 1987, the ‘78 PU is currently being installed, but his work has never disappointed. All my guitars have SD pick ups. I have a vapor trail delay as well. This one is going in a PRS SE Standard hollowbody.

I put this in the bridge of a 2 humbucker Schecter Banshee. I just got it installed yesterday, but it sounds fantastic! Not too hot and not too low output. Paired really well with the Phat Cat P90 that I had installed in the neck. Very pleased!

I searched high and low to find the right neck pickup to go with my custom shop 78 bridge pickup. I tried a jazz, phat cat even Dimarzio super 2 with a super distortion in my les Paul. I did not really care for any of them, none of them were awful just not what I wanted. I bought the 78 neck and almost instantly knew it was right. I use both pickup on for most of my leads.

The ‘78 Model pickups sound great. Have a lot of clarity, nice bassy tone in the neck, plenty of highs on both. Not muddy at all and with my amp overdriven they get a nice heave tone. They can rock for sure!!! Customer service helped me greatly with exchange of a previous pair I purchased, but I wanted these. The customer service rep Chris spent some time talking me through some different models to help me choose what I did. Awesome experience. Would recommend.

Kicks ass
