Seymour Duncan 78 Model Neck Reverse Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan 78 Model Neck Reverse Zebra Pickup

The 78 Model Neck in Reverse Zebra delivers the warm, articulate character that defined vintage Les Paul recordings, with hand-built construction that prioritizes clarity and controlled output. This pickup excels in the neck position, where its balanced response prevents muddiness while retaining the full-bodied warmth players expect from classic voiced designs. The reverse-wound, reverse-polarity configuration cancels hum when paired with a standard-wound bridge pickup, making it a practical choice for working guitars.

Tone & Construction

Built by hand in California, the 78 Model Neck uses an Alnico 2 magnet to generate smooth, woody midrange with naturally compressed dynamics. Its 7.9k DCR keeps the output moderate and responsive to pick dynamics, ideal for players who value articulation and note separation over raw power.

Technical Specifications

The pickup employs a 4-conductor shielded cable for flexible wiring options and hum rejection. Standard spacing with short legs fits most Gibson-style instruments without modification, ensuring straightforward installation and reliable performance on stage and in the studio.
