Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Neck White Pickup

Seymour Duncan Little '78 Strat Neck White Pickup

The Little '78 Strat Neck captures the warmth and articulation of a classic '78-era single-coil in a compact, hum-canceling format. This single-coil-sized humbucker drops into standard Stratocaster neck positions without routing, preserving the clarity and bell-like character of vintage Strat recordings while eliminating unwanted 60-cycle hum in your tracking sessions. Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, it merges the tonal signature of single-coil design with the noise rejection of humbucker technology—critical for clean, professional recordings in any home-studio environment.

Tone & Tracking Character

The Alnico 5 magnet structure delivers the responsive, punchy response that defined '70s-era Strat neck pickups—articulate treble and mids with natural compression in the lows that sits perfectly in a mix without fighting other instruments. The 9.62k DC resistance at the neck position maintains the brightness and bell-like quality essential to classic Strat recordings, preventing the mud that overwound neck pickups introduce during layered sessions.

Construction & Wiring Flexibility

A 4-conductor shielded cable unlocks coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring options, expanding your palette for different sessions and production contexts without swapping pickups. Handmade construction in Santa Barbara ensures consistent output and the quality control critical for professional-grade recordings and session work.
