Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Black Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Black Pickup Set

The Little '78 Strat Black delivers the articulate, punchy character of classic '70s Stratocaster tone without excessive output. Built for players who need period-correct voicing that cuts through a live mix or recording session without losing definition, these pickups balance vintage authenticity with the consistency modern gigging demands.

Tone & Output

Built around A2 magnets and vintage-output construction, this set produces 27.2 mV at the bridge and 20.2 mV at the neck—measured outputs that preserve the articulate, slightly compressed character associated with original '70s designs. The EQ curve emphasizes upper midrange clarity with controlled bass and treble, making these pickups responsive to picking dynamics and amp settings.

Construction & Wiring

Each pickup uses a 4-conductor cable configuration, enabling versatile wiring options including series, parallel, and split-coil arrangements. Passive design means no battery dependency and straightforward integration into standard Strat electronics—reliable both in the studio and on the road.
