Seymour Duncan 78 Model Bridge Reverse Zebra Pickup

This pickup excels in classic rock, blues, and hard rock—styles that benefit from its warm vintage character and articulate midrange. It is not designed for metal, djent, or punk, where tighter, more aggressive voicing typically works better.

Yes, the '78 Model uses standard Gibson humbucker spacing and comes with 4-conductor plus shield wiring, allowing straightforward drop-in installation in any Gibson-spaced bridge position. The uncovered design and lightly waxed potting ensure reliable feedback control in both studio and live settings.

At 9K ohms, the '78 Model sits between classic and hot output—more power than the vintage '59 Model but with preserved note separation and dynamic response. This balance makes it ideal for overdrive and distortion without sacrificing clarity, distinguishing it from higher-output alternatives.

Yes, the 4-conductor plus shield wiring supports flexible coil-split and series/parallel switching options, giving you tonal versatility in the studio or on stage.

The Reverse Zebra finish features cream and black coil covers in an uncovered humbucker design, delivering the distinctive visual aesthetic of '70s-era Seymour Duncan pickups alongside authentic vintage tone.
