Independent shopping perspective
The black neck ’78 Model brings Seymour Duncan’s hot-wound, Alnico 2 humbucker design to the neck position. Its winding specifications trace the original P.A.F. rewind, and its described character centers on warm crunch with biting lead definition. It is also aimed at players who use picked harmonics, tapping, and whammy-bar-focused lead work. Choose this version when the neck position and black appearance are the requirements.
