Detail 01
Alnico 2 magnet
Forms part of the pickup’s warm-crunch and biting-lead character.

Independent shopping perspective
Built for the bridge position, Seymour Duncan’s ’78 Model pairs an Alnico 2 magnet with a hot wind derived from the original P.A.F. rewind specifications. Its voice is described as warm and crunchy for hard-rock rhythm work, while retaining bite for lead lines. Players working tapped passages can expect overtone-rich response, and the gold cover gives this version its distinct appearance.
