Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Bridge Prch Pickup vs Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Bridge White Pickup
The standard Little '78 is a vintage-voiced single-coil with lower output (27.2, 5.75k DCR) optimized for articulate classic rock and blues, while the White version is a humbucking-design single-coil with higher output (11.5k DCR) that delivers thicker sustain and humbucker clarity in the same footprint. Choose the standard for pure vintage Strat punch; choose the White if you want more body, sustain, and hum rejection without routing your guitar.

Frequently asked questions
Which one has more output and sustain?
The White version has significantly higher DC resistance at 11.5k ohms versus 5.75k on the standard model, delivering more output, body, and sustain typical of humbucking pickups. The standard Little '78 prioritizes articulation and note separation over raw sustain.
Do both fit my standard Strat without routing?
Yes, both are designed for standard Stratocaster bridge single-coil cavities. The White version's humbucking design in a single-coil footprint is specifically marketed as requiring zero routing or modifications.
Which is better for blues and classic rock?
Both excel at blues and classic rock, but they approach it differently. The standard Little '78 delivers punchy, clear vintage Strat tones ideal for clean and moderately driven blues. The White version provides thicker, more defined sustain that suits heavier blues-rock and studio polish.
Can I switch between series, parallel, and split configurations on both?
Both feature 4-conductor shielded wiring that supports full switching flexibility including series, parallel, and split modes, so wiring options are identical between the two.
