Seymour Duncan A-6 Gold Benedetto Pickups

Seymour Duncan A-6 Gold Benedetto Pickups

The Seymour Duncan A-6 Gold Benedetto is a refined humbucking pickup engineered for archtop and semi-hollow guitar players who demand clarity, articulation, and vintage warmth without excessive output. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with a nickel-silver gold-plated cover, this pickup delivers the balanced responsiveness and tonal definition that Benedetto guitars are known for. The moderate 11.9k ohm neck resistance pairs responsiveness with natural compression, making it equally at home in jazz, blues, and contemporary settings.

Tone & Electronics

Voiced with an Alnico 5 bar magnet, this pickup produces a warm, woody character with excellent harmonic clarity and minimal harshness in the upper mids. The 4-conductor shielded lead wire and passive architecture ensure noise rejection and direct signal transmission, allowing the natural resonance of your instrument to come through uncolored.

Design & Build

A single row of adjustable pole pieces provides precise output balancing across all six strings and allows fine-tuning of brightness and sustain. The nickel-silver cover with gold plating is both functionally grounded and aesthetically refined, protecting against RF interference while complementing traditional archtop aesthetics.
