Thank you Seymour Duncan. My custom flying v with a Jazz in the neck and Custom in the bridge haven't let me down since 1988. My friend Mike Morin of Morin amps built it. I was homeless and destitute at one time and that guitar goes to my dear sister's house for safekeeping.
Funny coincidence, I bought a 59 Humbucker two days ago and had never seen this video till now. Very cool to know that gem of sweet sounding goodness was wound on the original machine.
One thing I have learned about Seymour Duncan is that the description of the pickup always matches what you hear when it's installed. Seymour Duncan is my no. 1 choice with a few models from DiMarzio at a very close 2nd.
Seymour's PU's are the best bang for your buck. I've had Seymour's and Tom Holmes and Lindy Fralin. To me, Seymour's has no problem going head to head with any of them.
That video was cool !! Now I have more understanding on how a pickup is made . There's a lot of technology to Seymour Duncan's pickups ...The man is a brilliant designer when it comes to making pickups , Thanks for sharing !!!
It's also why in ANY. Gibson relic or copy I redo I use only his passive pickups . I enjoy late 60s to late 70s guitar sounds , his pickups give me the sound I want . The only others I occassionally use are Lindy frailins in a strat copy
I'm probably going to set up a rear bridge greenie humbucker and a set of single coil lynches , with a suhr noise cancelling backplate and stiffer springs , EVH de tuna tremolo , and a Callahan bridge piece . I'm still thinking in what to do with a tele copy I have .
Leo Fender, Les Paul and Fralin together couldn't touch the genius of Seymour Duncan if they all set up camp at the Dimarzio factory. Nobody, not even them Memphis boys can do what the "Great One" has mastered. This man's vision was anointed by God. He definitely answered his calling
Yeah, but that's ONE pickup. They have SO MANY OTHERS that sound amazing without that price tag. Even their budget "Duncan Performer" series pickups sound great. Can't argue with a $30 s-sized humbucker that sounds excellent.
So all SD pickups are hand made/hand assembled in California by real people... I didn't know that, and based on the price I'm really surprised, I mean a JB is what, $70? That's really low for such an intricately made electronics part manufactured in the US
i have a blk winter and a jazz in my Hamer...ive never liked the JB to muddy to my ears...i think the best pickup SD has ever made is the SH5 i have one in my SG.
Yes Ben that's true but it's on just about every humbucker and single coil which is by far most of their pickups. And I know you can specially order them without the logo but it still stinks. :)
It's funny but I have a 59 on a tele neck and I don't dig it, I find it to be muddy with overdrive, it's being replaced by a phat cat soon as it arrives in the post!
I,m not shooting them down..... I,m just saying that they,re not what they used to be... I still use seymour duncan twin tube classic pedal and it,s the best i,ve ever had..... makes the industry standard tube screamer sound basic..... All i,m saying is in the late 70s-80s seymoure had more hands on over everything.... same as what bare knuckle are doing now.... but have grown to the point where it,s all machine made now..... and left to other people to finalise....
is it just me or is that background music the most irritating, contrived, crappy elevator rock music ever to be strummed? i can just see a bunch of mid 50's german tourists boogeyin along to that in some crappy 3 star hotel in tenerife.
Seymour Duncan.... There not the firm they used to be... I had them in the 80,s (JB and Jazz set) and they where decent back then..... The last set I got was back in 2007 ( Pearly Gates and Alnico 2).... I orderd them off the local rep in Liverpool,U.K. and after waiting about 5 weeks, he brought a set of alnico 2,,,, Then when I told him they where the wrong ones he took the alnico 2.s back and another four weeks later brought a Pearly Gater and Alnico 2.... when I took them to the local guitar teck to put in for me ... they where awful.... could,nt understand why until we checked the DC rating.... and then read the box..... The idiot had given me two bridge pick-ups..... After that I got Bareknuckle pickups.... The Mule and PG Blues.... These are what Seymour Duncan used to be.... Attention to detail , Well made, and most of all.... They put the customer First,(and not the sale.) Hand wound to the specification you want... and did,nt have to wait 9 weeks for the wrong ones..... I,ld recomend them to anyone looking for an authentic hand wound pick-up now.... Sorry to say.... because Seymour Duncan used to be a decent manufacturerat one time ......
If you’re in the UK, its probably better to stick with local or European pickups for better service. Seymour Duncan pickups are great but boutique smaller companies are good too.

I have one Seymour Duncan pick up on one of my guitars. It’s one of the best pickups I’ve ever heard in my life.
A very interesting and exciting Factory tour. 🎸🧐

9:50 shots fired at gibson from the past!
Oh yeah ! The whole "Play authentic...or else !" fiasco.
I love my Seymour Duncan Vintage P90 !
wow now i know were im getting my paf replicas cant get much closer than that
It's also why in ANY. Gibson relic or copy I redo I use only his passive pickups . I enjoy late 60s to late 70s guitar sounds , his pickups give me the sound I want . The only others I occassionally use are Lindy frailins in a strat copy
I'm moving more towards ALL Seymour Duncan's in everything I rebuild . Especially with the new signature line ...like greenies , lynches , 78s , etc .
I'm probably going to set up a rear bridge greenie humbucker and a set of single coil lynches , with a suhr noise cancelling backplate and stiffer springs , EVH de tuna tremolo , and a Callahan bridge piece . I'm still thinking in what to do with a tele copy I have .
what a great job. duncan for life.
I luv Seymour Duncan Pickups there nice pickups just like my guitar collection
I have invader, duncan distortion ,parallel axis on my guitars i love all !!!!!!!!!!!
Has Seymour Duncan played around with neodymium magnets? if so, what's the consensus?
Seymour Firebird pick ups are awesome.
Every guitar I buy stocks come out and Duncans go in.
♥ ♥Heavenly. Absolutely beautiful !!! ♥

Huh?
Much different than when they were downtown on Santa Barbara Street.
Yeah, but that's ONE pickup. They have SO MANY OTHERS that sound amazing without that price tag. Even their budget "Duncan Performer" series pickups sound great. Can't argue with a $30 s-sized humbucker that sounds excellent.

I agree. Seymor Duncans all the way. I have a Jackson King V Demel X with Seymor Duncan JB and Jazz pickups
It’s pretty much all hand made. I think most are machine wound though. However machine wound is high quality
para mim seria um sonho trabalhar em um lugar assim
I like it
Zephyr pickups my friend... it's like $595.95 per humbucker and $395.95 per single coil. .______.
I sort of equate Seymour to mr. Les Paul in many aspects for obvious reasons . He's a great man in his own right .
i have a blk winter and a jazz in my Hamer...ive never liked the JB to muddy to my ears...i think the best pickup SD has ever made is the SH5 i have one in my SG.
The only thing I don't like about SD is that they put their name real big on every pickup in that tacky Times New Roman font.
Comic Sans FTW.
Not on every pickup.
Yes Ben that's true but it's on just about every humbucker and single coil which is by far most of their pickups. And I know you can specially order them without the logo but it still stinks. :)
Some naptha and a cloth will rub it off
That's why I like the black winters, a nice change
It's funny but I have a 59 on a tele neck and I don't dig it, I find it to be muddy with overdrive, it's being replaced by a phat cat soon as it arrives in the post!

They can probably add a handwound human factor to that winding machine by having it perform slight torsion twists to the wire itself just thinking
Seymour AND Duncan. Not Seymour Duncan. The company has two founders.
I had no idea they spun them that fast.
Сворачивайся мужик!
Thats why yngwie malmsteen choose seymour duncan pickups.
Like 760 ✔💫⚡🔱⚡💫🎬 ❤
.
is it just me or is that background music the most irritating, contrived, crappy elevator rock music ever to be strummed? i can just see a bunch of mid 50's german tourists boogeyin along to that in some crappy 3 star hotel in tenerife.
Cry baby
LOL yeah it's fucking awful. bargain bin blues. thats what you will end up sounding like if you use these pickups.
The music was performed by Seymour Duncan himself. Stop complaining about his music
Why a damn sound track at all in the back ground, get on with the vid please, the wait gets real tiring!
You need to calm down. You were one of those annoying cry baby children that people hated
uhh theyre like $70 ...unless you drive a pinto then my bad haha
play it hard and it rubs off :)
So basically all my SD are made in mexico 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 (not that this is any better or worse)
Good video, but I hate the fact that SEYMOUR DUNCAN is plastered on the pickup ...
I think it adds to the cool factor. Most companies would be ashamed to do so. Duncan has bragging rights
The beginnig music sucks 😂

Come on dude - you can not shoot Duncan thanks to one crappy rep! If they were the right pickups and were not what you expected then maybe..
If you’re in the UK, its probably better to stick with local or European pickups for better service. Seymour Duncan pickups are great but boutique smaller companies are good too.
