The Whole Lotta Humbucker
set is hand-wound in limited quantities at the Seymour Duncan Custom
Shop.?
?When I lived in London in the early ?70?s. I did repairs,
pickup rewinds, and custom pickup creations for Jeff Beck, The Who,
Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Thin Lizzy, Jack Bruce, Jimmy Page and many
others.
One of the era?s biggest sounds was a vintage Les Paul pumped through a
Marshall, When I?d work on one of those great old guitars for a client,
I liked to rewind the pickups with 42-guage plain-enamel wire. I?d also
insert sand-cast Alnico magnets with a better-balanced magnetic field,
which made the B and high E sound as powerful as the other strings.
This modified pickup had more output and a higher frequency response.
THE WHOLE LOTTA HUMBUCKER
SET is an exact replica of these special pickups. 8.78k DC
resistance for the bridge pickup, 8.20k for the neck, custom winding
pitch, and a calibrated sand cast Alnico magnet.
