Description
Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Bridge White Pickup
The Little '78 delivers the focused, articulate voice of a classic humbucking bridge pickup compressed into a single-coil footprint. This pickup slots directly into standard Strat bridge cavities without routing, making it an ideal upgrade for home studios and session rigs seeking traditional humbucker clarity and output while preserving instrument integrity.
Recording Tone & Output Character
Built around an Alnico 5 magnet, this pickup produces a balanced, defined attack with strong midrange presence—characteristic of the original '78 design philosophy. The 11.5k ohm DC resistance delivers enough output and sustain to cut through dense mixes and sit cohesively in blues, rock, and classic-rock productions while maintaining articulation across all six strings for detailed tracking and layering.
Studio Installation & Wiring Flexibility
The 4-conductor shielded wiring enables flexible switching options and hum rejection—essential for eliminating noise in controlled recording environments. The single-coil-sized humbucking design fits existing single-coil cavities with zero routing required, letting you swap or experiment with tone shapes across session instruments without downtime or permanent modifications.
