Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat White Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat White Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat White set delivers the articulate, vintage-voiced single-coil character that cuts through a live mix with refined clarity across all three positions. These pickups nail the detailed midrange and controlled brightness of classic '70s Stratocasters—the tone that sits right in a band context without the noise or harshness that can muddy a stage performance.

Tone & Characteristics

Built around Alnico 5 magnets with carefully voiced coil geometry, the Little '78 set produces balanced output across neck, middle, and bridge positions. The bridge pickup's 11.5k Ohm DC resistance and neck pickup's 4.81 kΩ resistance establish a natural tonal progression that responds cleanly to both single-note lines and full chords, with the middle pickup rounding out the classic Strat voicing.

Wiring & Installation

4-conductor shielded wiring on all three pickups provides flexibility for coil-splitting or other modification options, while the passive design integrates seamlessly into standard Stratocaster electronics without requiring additional power or active circuitry. The 4-conductor cable construction ensures proper signal transmission and allows experienced techs to experiment with various wiring configurations.
