Seymour DuncanLittle '78 Strat Humbucker Pickup Parchment Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Little '78 packages a humbucker-inspired voice into a single-coil format for a Stratocaster-shaped guitar. It uses an Alnico II magnet and is rated for moderate output. The design emphasizes artificial harmonics, including tapped runs and overtone-heavy lead work, alongside warm crunch with smooth mids and focused highs. Its connection to Seymour Duncan's 1978 P.A.F. experiment is part of the concept, but the practical fit is a single-coil Strat pickup for players building rhythm and lead sounds around harmonic detail.
