Seymour Duncan 78 Model TB White Pickup

Seymour Duncan '78 Model TB White Pickup

The Seymour Duncan '78 Model TB White is a hand-built bridge pickup that delivers the warm, articulate character of a classic P.A.F. rewind with modern consistency. Designed as a Trembucker for wider string spacing, this pickup captures the vintage voice of 1978 without the inconsistencies of original P.A.F.s, making it a go-to for players who need reliable vintage tone night after night on stage.

Tone & Magnet Structure

Wound to original 1978 P.A.F. specifications, this pickup uses an Alnico 2 magnet that produces a naturally compressed, warm response with articulate midrange and smooth high-end roll-off. The Alnico 2 configuration delivers that sought-after vintage character—punchy enough to cut through a band mix in rock and blues, yet refined enough for jazz and clean tones that sit well in a mix.

Design & Build

The Trembucker variant features wider string spacing (52.6 mm / 2.070") optimized for modern humbucker cavities with increased bridge spacing. Hand-built in California by Seymour Duncan, this dual-coil design maintains the exact winding specifications of legendary '78 P.A.F.s, ensuring period-correct tone in a construction that holds up under the demands of the road.
