Seymour Duncan78' Model Humbucker Pickup Nickel Cover Bridge
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Seymour Duncan’s ’78 Model is a bridge humbucking pickup with a nickel cover and an Alnico 2 magnet. It is wound to the hot specifications associated with the original P.A.F. rewind referenced in its design. The stated magnet-and-output combination is aimed at warm crunch, biting lead work and overtone-rich tapped runs. Its description also calls out classic hard-rock rhythm crunch, picked harmonics and whammy-bar-focused playing as key use cases.

Who this is for
- Hard-rock rhythm parts that call for the pickup’s described warm crunch.
- Lead and tapped passages where biting response and overtone-rich runs are wanted.
