Seymour Duncan 78 Model Bridge Gold Cover Pickup

The '78 Model excels in blues, rock, jazz, and classic hard rock where articulation and balanced warmth matter. It is not voiced for metal, djent, or extreme high-gain styles that demand heavier output and aggressive character.

Yes. The 4-conductor plus shield design allows full coil-splitting and phase-switching flexibility, giving you multiple tonal options from a single bridge position without needing multiple pickups.

The '78 Model has a medium output rating with 9K DC resistance, placing it between vintage-correct models like the Gibson '57 Classic and higher-output designs. This balance lets it stay articulate under drive while delivering enough body for saturated tones.

This is a standard humbucker-routed bridge pickup for 6-string instruments, so it fits any guitar with standard humbucker routing in that position. Installation requires soldered connections to the 4-conductor wiring.

Alnico II magnets, 42-gauge plain enamel wire, and traditional construction deliver balanced frequency response with note separation and controlled output. This combination creates articulate definition without sacrificing the warmth of classic humbucker designs.
