Seymour Duncan 78 Model TB White Pickup

Seymour Duncan '78 Model TB White Pickup

The Seymour Duncan '78 Model TB White is a hand-built bridge pickup engineered to capture the warm, articulate character of a classic P.A.F. rewind with consistent performance across takes and sessions. Designed as a Trembucker for wider string spacing, this pickup delivers the vintage voice of 1978 with the reliability required in professional tracking—no surprises between recordings, just tonally cohesive performances that sit well in a mix.

Tone & Recording Character

Wound to original 1978 P.A.F. specifications, this pickup uses an Alnico 2 magnet that produces a naturally compressed, warm response with articulate midrange and smooth high-end roll-off. In the mix, the Alnico 2 configuration yields that sought-after vintage character—aggressive enough for rock and heavy rhythm work, yet transparent enough for jazz voicings and clean studio tones without muddiness.

Studio-Ready Design & Build

The Trembucker variant features wider string spacing (52.6 mm / 2.070") optimized for modern humbucker cavities with increased bridge spacing. Hand-built in California by Seymour Duncan, this dual-coil design maintains the exact winding specifications of legendary '78 P.A.F.s, ensuring period-correct tonal character and session-to-session consistency in a contemporary package that works across multiple guitar models.
