Seymour must be the nicest guy ever. So refreshing to see a guy like this make it so big. He's like a child at heart. You guys should have him back again
This interviews are just the best thing ever in guitar history! So cool to hear all that info from those industry legends! Thank you guys so much for organizing this!!!
@@tone-talk This is a fantastic interview. Not only is Seymour the greatest pickup designer of all time, but a terrific all around pioneer in music equipment and such a part of the fabric of music. He's lived so much incredible history. When you buy a Duncan pickup you're getting the same level of quality and attention to detail the big names get, unlike some other companies lesser quality offerings. EVH played a JB for years but he didn't admit it. But anyone in the know was aware of this.
What a awesome espisode !!!!1 I just found Tone talk about 2 months ago and playing catch up but this has to be one of the best so far ,he has so much knowlege and has worked with so many Amazing players ,and I have never used SD pickups but im more into passive pups and thier wedsite is so awesome they walk you through depending on guitar type ,what type of music its blowing my mind and being a tone chaser its going to help alot so thanks Marc and Dave for all your episodes!!!!1
Always liked Jake E. Lee’s tone. Found out his white strat had a Duncan Holdsworth in it! Like a JB but smoother with double screw poles. Got to meet Holdsworth a few years before he died & he said his headless guitars still had Duncan pickups, but he said his were lower powered than the ones Jake had, but same concept with the double screw poles: Holdsworth said he liked them because they have a “spongey midrange”. I heard recently Duncan is making them again, they are awesome! Thanks for bringing them back as a regular production model, the “metal fatigue” model
Man, I feel so lucky to be able to sit here and watch Dave and Seymour talk shop. Always love the show, but I really do feel lucky to be able to watch living legends like Seymour, MJ, and Dave.
Marc and Dave, these live shows are awesome. Thank you for hosting them for all of us. I don’t get to watch live due to the time zone differences. Each show gets better and better. What an honor to hear Seymour share his stories with us. Thank you!
What a great show. How awesome is Mr Seymour Duncan? Incredible stories by an incredibly humble man. Great to see MJ make a couple of appearances too. If you read this Seymour, please, please consider releasing a book. Well done Tone-Talk for yet another amazing chat.
I remember listening to an old interview of Jeff Beck. He was talking about how he had traded Mr. Duncan his absolute favorite guitar & how he just knew that he would never get it back & how sad he was when he had let it go. I bet Mr. Duncan would have traded him back if he had only known that.
No , he wouldn’t or else I’m sure he would have . I’m sure he known … plenty of stories from people like Beck and others about SD … about him being a notorious schister and getting the better on people and vintage guitars
Met Seymour in 1986 "guitars a fire" shop in Long Beach, CA. nice , interesting guy, and super Tele picker..he was demo'n his new convertible amp. good to see you again.
Love his pickups got my first Seymour Duncan Pickup a JB back in 1981. Have used Seymour Duncan Pickup ups over the years. One of my Strats has a Pearly Gates love it. Seems like a nice, humble guy very likable.
Well, that was all kinds of awesome. Seems entirely silly to sit here and listen to a two hour broadcast about pickups, but my god-it was so much more. History. I'm entirely a fan of Mr. Duncan-now, more than ever. I have a JB in the bridge of my Strat and i'm now definitely going to get MJ to make me a '78 for a custom guitar i'm building. Fantastic, heart-warming stories from a true legend. Whoa. That was beautiful.
Random factiod. Know those piezo pick ups in your acoustic guitar. Your bones flex and when stressed (say when you land from jumping) they create piezoelectricity. Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials in response to applied mechanical stress. The word piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure and latent heat. - Have four S. Duncan Seth Lovers and adore what they sound like. (Not wax potted for those interested.) Seymour is always a very sweet, interesting and interested man. Loved to get to see this. Thank you for sharing.
What a great video! Seymour is a wealth of information. I think the JB/Jazz humbuckers with a classic stack in the center is the most versatile pickup combination.
The guy has incredible memory for all the details, persons, bands, even the actual year he is talking about, pretty sharp for the age, he probably never did drugs or at least never abused of.
Guys , Gotta Have Seymour on your show at least 4 more time !*_*! if only talk 2 hours at a time , wow thousands of stories of interactions with the legendary gtr players (true gtr history) Seymour Duncan is a legend among Legends . And he should really get a book deal , just a writer needed that's all (can not do that yourself) ( biographer ) and it be great if they make a professional documentary movie too
Yeah I ask the question at 1:25:15 and at 1:30:00 is when Marc ask Seymour Duncan about the Pearly Gates Pickups. Just in case someone wants to look this video up and wants to know.
Seymour belongs in the conversation along with Seth Lover / Leo Fender / Grover Jackson / and of course Les Paul He truly is a legend and a wonderful person!!!
It certainly is a Iconic model. Love it or hate it that p'u has been on more records and in more guitars than you can count. I was fortunate enough to score a old 1979 JB that was made when seymour was still a one man operation. He was winding pu's as ordered back then. These are easy to ID they have no engraving on the baseplate, have the longer mounting legs, have a white rectangular "The JB" sticker written in red ink. These sound incredible! Seymour re-issued these as the antiquity JB.
There is an interview with Jeff Beck I believe at his house where he talks about a number of his vintage guitars. At one point in the interview he talks about the Esquire that Seymour ended up with and Jeff was very remorseful having given up such a piece of his history. It would be cool if that Esquire made it back to him. Great interview! 👍
SD quarter pounders are the best thing to ever happen to my Telecaster. I constantly get compliments on my tone since I put the QP's in it. In the studio, it's plug it in and go. Great product.
Hat's off to Seymour Duncan! I got a set of your Antiquities, they have to be the most exquisite humbuckers ever, but Keith Merrow (gotta love him), isn't the most patient person for customer support! I bought one of those Dallas-Arbiter fuzz faces back in 1969 for $29 or $39. I wish I would have kept it. Damn things are going for $2500 these days! Keep it up, Seymour, and PLEASE?....write THE book!
Seymour was so honest when asked about ceramic magnets. Although his company makes a lot of those models he said that he didn't care for them so much. They sound so shrill, hollow and cheap.
Still got my original JB I got about the week they became available...a lifetime ago! A friend opened for VH back in '76 or '77. He asked Eddie what pickup he used. Eddie opened a guitar case that was full of pickups, pointed to them and said something like 'I've tried everything...they are all crap.' Good thing he found Seymour soon after that.
+TheDogpa, Edward told us what pickup he used back then but everyone insist's on making it this "MYSTERY" In the earliest days he used the dimarzio super distortion and the mighty mite copy of it(MM1300) There is photo evidence of this all over the internet of eddie in the clubs using them But he found these "too distorted" then he went to a old 1968 Gibson P.A.F out of a ruined ES335 for the first record that he said he had rewound.
The very first "JB" was a old broken P.A.F that came out of lonnie mack's gibson flying V. Seymour took that P.A.F and rewound it to to his "JB" wind(16.4K) and put a alnico II in it then he installed it in a tele he had back then. This guitar was built as a gift for Jeff beck. The neck humbucker out of that flying V was rewound and put in the Tele and seymour named it the JM or "John Milner" model. Since Jeff never officially endorsed these pu's the bridge one was named"The JB" aka "Jazzy blues" and the neck became the Jazz neck. Seymour sis have Jeff beck in mind when he made these but Beck never endorsed them.
Funny I wanted to play violin, and my dad came home with a guitar for chritmas, I've been plating guitar ever since. I guess he was thinking "beginning with a violin ???!! Hell no, i'm not going to survive that!" lol. But I still want to learn violin one day !
Awesome show guys! I think you should change the name of the channel to "Tone-Talk Legends" Cheers! P.S. hey Marc I see you swapped out your el34 50 watter for the 6L6 model. Wondering which one you liked best??
Peter Schaefer hey Peter, I did sell the EL34 model. I prefer the 6L6 model from years back which has more gain and crunch on the blue channel. It fits my style and ear better.
Jimmy page first started using duncan pickups in the very early 80s . His red B bender les paul deluxe got Duncan's in the early 80s and his double neck got duncan pickups on the six stirkgm side in the mid 80s . The 12 string side still has the original 1971 gibson t tops . Page has a single duncan in his number 1 les paul which is the bridge pickup it's not the same pickup as the whole kotta humbucker bridge. It's 8.15k alnico 5 and the whole lotta humbucker bridge is 8.8k alnico 5. The 8.15k version is probably the pickup seymour was taking about when he said he did a 59 style pickup for page . Pages Number 1 has had that duncan pickup in the bridge since the very early 90s and the neck pickup was the original 59 paf untill the late 90s when it was replaced with a 1960 gibson Paf which measures 8.68k.
I have a set of Whole Lotta Humbucker pups. I have tried a lot of pickups over the years. These are my favorite so far. I do not like the PRS SE 245 I have them in. It's my only humbucker guitar at the moment. Very nice tone, but do not like the fat neck, tricky action and dodgy intonation. Can't wait to get money situation sorted out so i can get a decent LP or SG again and try these pups in it (got injured and had to sell all my stuff. Slowly replacing it all).
Hi I'd like to add a comment that's sort of lost title when I was a child or young boy in the sixties my dad and I used to race slot cars we didn't have much money things with tight so my dad would buy from the hobby catalogs motors for the slot cars for a dollar apiece he has made by hands of Winder and he would we want she would rewind the motors and soup them make them hot and they were really fast it was nice too get that memory again so I thank you see more for that and all your other work is has helped me play guitar and enjoy it much more if there any typos please excuse them I am blind and the speech-to-text orphan is very inaccurate thank you very
@@geezberry8889 Yes because Jeff never officially endorsed this pickup Seymour opted to call it the "Jazzy blues" or just The JB for production. The pu was originally made with Jeff beck in mind to go into the tele Seymour gave Jeff as a gift. The JB originally used a alnico II and can be bought this way, it is called the JB concept set.
Pages dragon tele was not a 62 it was a 59 and Jeff gave it to Jimmy as a gift because jimmy was offered to replace Clapton in the Yard birds and he turned it down and recommended Jeff Beck for the job and they hired Jeff so he gave jimmy a blond 59 tele which became the dragon tele .. also the dragon tele was never stolen. Jimmy stopped using it because a friend re painted the guitar and ruined the electronics so that only the neck pickup worked. Seymour is confusing rhe Dragon tele with pages 3 humbucket balck beauty les paul custom which was stolen form page in 1970 which he got back in 2015 . Page had modified the wring on the custom and added a push pot for a coil split and added 2 extra pickup selector switches which gave the guitar 9 different pickup combinations but after the guitar was stolen it changed hands a few times and at some point the guitar was put back to its original stage the extra toggles were eliminated so that it only had the 3 standard positions and the wiring mods that were added to facilitate the extra toggle switches and pickup combo were Eleminated .
Man seymour Really was trying to get away from talking about eddie van halen! Every time he would venture off talking about someone else. Dave broght t back to eddie a few times but seymour still would stray off the topic of eddie and his tone.
I literally laughed out loud when Marc asked Seymour if it was in New York, Only a super cool dude like Marc could laugh at himself, good on you brother! A huge telltale sign of Character! in the right way!!

Watching this video makes me want to try all kinds of Seymour Duncan pickups. Seymour seems like a great guy!
Wow. Had to watch this twice it was so good. Seymour seems like such a down to earth guy. Need that book! Love the show fellas.

+1 for the ‘Coffee Table Book’ (I’m ready to pre-order now...!!!).
Great show!

Roel Cyborg thank you for watching and we hope Seymour will come back again
Awesome show !
Todd Flowers Thank you!!!
A “puppeteer” on the “Uncle Al Show”...AWESOME!! I grew up watching that show.🤩
I was glad that Seymour answer my question about Billy Gibbons Pearly Gates Pickups.
Yeah I ask the question at 1:25:15 and at 1:30:00 is when Marc ask Seymour Duncan about the Pearly Gates Pickups. Just in case someone wants to look this video up and wants to know.
Awesome and so glad we got to it. We appreciate you watching!!
I can’t imagine rock guitar without Seymour.
Seymour belongs in the conversation along with Seth Lover / Leo Fender / Grover Jackson / and of course Les Paul
He truly is a legend and a wonderful person!!!
Still the best pickups I’ve ever played
The JB is still my favorite, always paired with a Jazz. The best combo of all time. Seymour certainly knows tone.
It certainly is a Iconic model. Love it or hate it that p'u has been on more records and in more guitars than you can count.
I was fortunate enough to score a old 1979 JB that was made when seymour was still a one man operation.
He was winding pu's as ordered back then. These are easy to ID they have no engraving on the baseplate, have the
longer mounting legs, have a white rectangular "The JB" sticker written in red ink. These sound incredible! Seymour re-issued these as the antiquity JB.
There is an interview with Jeff Beck I believe at his house where he talks about a number of his vintage guitars. At one point in the interview he talks about the Esquire that Seymour ended up with and Jeff was very remorseful having given up such a piece of his history. It would be cool if that Esquire made it back to him. Great interview! 👍
I still have an old Gibson pic-up that mr Duncan re-wrapped for me waaayyyyyy back in 1980 ! I believe it is the Custom Custom wrap.
MrDavemiley awesome! Thanks for watching!
SD quarter pounders are the best thing to ever happen to my Telecaster. I constantly get compliments on my tone since I put the QP's in it. In the studio, it's plug it in and go. Great product.
Hat's off to Seymour Duncan! I got a set of your Antiquities, they have to be the most exquisite humbuckers ever, but Keith Merrow (gotta love him), isn't the most patient person for customer support! I bought one of those Dallas-Arbiter fuzz faces back in 1969 for $29 or $39. I wish I would have kept it. Damn things are going for $2500 these days! Keep it up, Seymour, and PLEASE?....write THE book!
Amazing! Thanx for this fantastic episode. 👍
Lucky Llou Thank you for watching and for telling us!! So cool!
Seymour was so honest when asked about ceramic magnets. Although his company makes a lot of those models he said that he didn't care for them so much. They sound so shrill, hollow and cheap.

I hope them old papers are digital as well!!
awesome !!!
Awesomeness x21
3score10 Thank you!
The Hunter is a classic Dokken song off their Under Lock And Key record.
Killer solo in that one!🤘
So, is the JB model named for Jeff Beck or Jazz Blues? Heard both...
The very first "JB" was a old broken P.A.F that came out of lonnie mack's gibson flying V.
Seymour took that P.A.F and rewound it to to his "JB" wind(16.4K) and put a alnico II in it then he installed it in a tele he had back then.
This guitar was built as a gift for Jeff beck. The neck humbucker out of that flying V was rewound
and put in the Tele and seymour named it the JM or "John Milner" model.
Since Jeff never officially endorsed these pu's the bridge one was named"The JB" aka "Jazzy blues" and the neck became the Jazz neck. Seymour sis have Jeff beck in mind when he made these but Beck never endorsed them.
Funny I wanted to play violin, and my dad came home with a guitar for chritmas, I've been plating guitar ever since. I guess he was thinking "beginning with a violin ???!! Hell no, i'm not going to survive that!" lol. But I still want to learn violin one day !
Awesome show guys! I think you should change the name of the channel to "Tone-Talk Legends"
Cheers!
P.S. hey Marc I see you swapped out your el34 50 watter for the 6L6 model. Wondering which one you liked best??
Thank you Seymour!
Peter Schaefer hey Peter, I did sell the EL34 model. I prefer the 6L6 model from years back which has more gain and crunch on the blue channel. It fits my style and ear better.
And thank you about the show! You are so nice to say that!
Please do a show with Reinhold Bogner :-)
the yoda of pick ups i could go on lol smh this dude and many more damn!
I missed it live shit!
That’s funny I live right near Pontius
Jimmy page first started using duncan pickups in the very early 80s .

What's that on top of Friedman's head?
stratocat62 it’s the synergy 1 system
How bad ass would it be if Dr Z and Seymour were your cool uncles...damn man. cool dude! MJ is a bad ass by the way for anyone who failed to notice :)
if you think about it ham radios were the first cellphones hahahahahahahahaha
Hi I'd like to add a comment that's sort of lost title when I was a child or young boy in the sixties my dad and I used to race slot cars we didn't have much money things with tight so my dad would buy from the hobby catalogs motors for the slot cars for a dollar apiece he has made by hands of Winder and he would we want she would rewind the motors and soup them make them hot and they were really fast it was nice too get that memory again so I thank you see more for that and all your other work is has helped me play guitar and enjoy it much more if there any typos please excuse them I am blind and the speech-to-text orphan is very inaccurate thank you very
Robert Sutton awesome! Thanks for watching
Great show. Have to hand it to you, Seymour seemed like a more difficult interview. Seems to go off on tangents constantly.
Patrick M Ah it was fine...he was excited and had lots to share! We loved it
Didn't mean any offense. Seymour is a legend and I love his products. Kudos for the great interview. He really needs to put out that book.
would've liked to hear from the man himself if the JB stands for Jeff Beck or Jazz Blues..
It’s Jeff beck
@@tone-talk at some point it was refuted I'm guessing not to cause a licensing issue with jeff. thanks
@@geezberry8889 Yes because Jeff never officially endorsed this pickup Seymour opted to call it the "Jazzy blues" or just The JB
for production. The pu was originally made with Jeff beck in mind to go into the tele Seymour gave Jeff as a gift.
The JB originally used a alnico II and can be bought this way, it is called the JB concept set.

Seymour is confusing rhe Dragon tele with pages 3 humbucket balck beauty les paul custom which was stolen form page in 1970 which he got back in 2015 .

Man seymour Really was trying to get away from talking about eddie van halen!
Every time he would venture off talking about someone else. Dave broght t back to eddie a few times but seymour still would stray off the topic of eddie and his tone.
I know why is that?
Hey, Marc still thinks u do a great job, perhaps my comment was too harsh!
Boyd Robertson come on...that was funny...
Just a bit...
Thanks!
