Description
Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Bridge White Pickup
The Little '78 delivers the focused, articulate voice of a classic humbucking bridge pickup compressed into a single-coil footprint. Drop it straight into your Strat bridge cavity without routing—this is a no-commitment upgrade for players who want traditional humbucker clarity and output while keeping their instrument stock and gig-ready.
Tone & Electronics
Built around an Alnico 5 magnet, this pickup produces a balanced, defined attack with strong midrange presence—characteristic of the original '78 design philosophy. The 11.5k ohm DC resistance gives it enough output and sustain for blues, rock, and classic styles while maintaining articulation across all six strings on stage or in the studio.
Installation & Compatibility
The 4-conductor shielded wiring enables flexible switching options and hum rejection, while the single-coil-sized humbucking design fits existing single-coil cavities with zero routing required. Install it in minutes with standard mounting hardware—no luthier needed, no downtime before your next gig.
