Description
The Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker Pickup Set is based on a rewind he did for one of Jimmy Page's Gibson Les Paul guitars in the '70s.
Before Seymour built his own business Seymour was working for Fender Soundhouse in London, this was when The Yardbirds were kings and Seymour befriended some of his favourite musicians and rewound pickups for them when they needed it. One of these custom rewind recipes went to a very special player and as a result of Seymour's meticulous record keeping, this pickup lives on today.
The recipe for this pickup set begins with a rough cast alnico 5 magnet, plain enamel wire and a unique winding pattern. The bridge is a vintage hot 8.8kΩ DC resistance and the neck is similarly beefy at 8.2kΩ, the rough cast magnets add warmth and balance so everything sounds bigger. What is sonically unique about the Whole Lotta Humbucker pickups is the way that they push your amp and add a very slight natural compression and sustain to your sound. The pickups are finished with a nickel silver bottom plate, 4 conductor hookup wire for multiple wiring options and are vacuum wax potted for squeal free performance.
