Seymour Duncan 78 Model Pickups

Seymour Duncan 78 Model Pickups

For anyone tracking guitars at home, the pickups in the instrument shape the recorded tone before a mic, amp or plugin is involved. Seymour Duncan's 78 Model family offers humbuckers for guitars with full-size pickup routes and Little '78 pickups for Strat-style guitars, giving you a practical way to change what lands on the track.

Position options let you plan around a part's role in the mix. Neck, bridge and TB versions are available, and the matched sets are useful when you want a guitar to behave consistently from one take to the next. Several finishes, including white, black, zebra and metal covers, let you keep a studio guitar visually matched too.

Studio Gears carries the family across a range of prices, from single replacements to full sets. Browse the live selection below and pick the position and format that suit the guitars in your recording rig.

Wiring: factory lead wiring varies by model. Each product page states whether that pickup ships 1-conductor or 4-conductor; where a 4-conductor version is not the stock build it is a special order (about 3 weeks, extra cost).

Seymour Duncan 78 Model Pickups - frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Seymour Duncan 78 Model and the Little '78?

The 78 Model is the full-size humbucker format, offered in neck, bridge and TB positions. The Little '78 is made for Strat-style guitars and covers neck and bridge placements. Which one you need depends on whether your guitar takes a humbucker or a Strat-style single-coil-size pickup.

Which finishes do Seymour Duncan 78 Model pickups come in?

The family appears in white, black, zebra and reverse zebra, plus nickel or gold covers. The Little '78 examples also include cream options. That makes it easy to match a pickup to the look of your current guitar, whether you want a subtle black or a more eye-catching zebra.

Can I buy a Seymour Duncan 78 Model as a matched set?

Yes. Matched sets such as the 78 Model Humbucker Black Pickup Set and the Little '78 Strat Black Pickup Set let you replace a full pickup complement in one step. Single pickups are also available, and the range runs from entry-level to premium. Every instrument is professionally packed, with free US shipping.
