- Our buddy, Doug Rappoport, stopped by our Portland, Oregon workshop studio to demo our Saturday Night Special pickups.

The Saturday Night Special humbucker set uses Alnico 4 magnets to deliver that authentic 70s sound. Unlike traditional humbuckers, the Saturday Night Special humbuckers are voiced to be a little hotter and fatter in the bridge position, and a little clearer and less “wooly” in the neck. They’re more aggressive than 50s-style models, but without the compression of most high gain pickups. These bridge the output level gap between vintage 50s and modern humbuckers, making this pickup set perfect for replicating those legendary late-70s arena rock tones.

This dude is by far one of the BEST guitar players out there. Way too underrated.
Yes absolutely !!
Yeah dude. His phrasings are beautiful. I wish I had chops and creativity like that.
Juan Germano Just incredible playing. His chops are what I'm striving for.
NO DOUBT !!!!!!!! so much sole-- --- ---- --- ----
Just who is underrating him?
every note he plays mean so much... it just connects with me.
Dang it just doesn't get better than THIS!!
Your JJ amplifier demo was great too
You said it
Come back here every now and again to hear that killer playing. Slayed this demo. Bought the pickups years ago because of it.
This was the demo that convinced me to buy this pickup, and I was not disappointed at all. Put one in the bridge of my Epiphone Sheraton II along with a Phat Cat in the neck. Tone for days. Now if only I could play like Doug.
Omg, paired with a phat cat in that layout... That's exactly what I was thinking watching this.
One of the BEST demos of ANYTHING I've ever seen and heard. WOW is all I can say. Doug Rappoport is an Awesome Guitarist.
Just recently discovered these pickups. I needed a set, thought Id take a gamble, ordered the nickel covered set, and spent my 4th of July weekend wiring them up. OH MY GOD! I have never heard a more perfect, more musical set of humbuckers. Ever. These are everything I always wanted a humbucker to be. Both neck and bridge. What an absolute grand slam of a pickup!!!!!
Purchased these for my SG before the video even finished!
And how do you like them compared to the stock pups?
Mustang Nut love them a whole much more than the stock pups! They sound amazing
Hi Dylan, how would you describe the bottom end on these ? tight / loose..and the mids , more upper midrange or lower?
Just installed them in my Custom SG with coil splits. They sound more defined than the SD 59’s, with tighter bass tones. Both are great choices.
hahahaha
I purchased a set of these pickups and they instantly became my favorite. These are the best all around pickups I've ever played. Some much clarity and dynamic range!
I'm a huge fan of Dougs, hopefully he gets some more recognition. Just has so much charisma in his playing.
This demo convinced me to put this bridge pickup in my epiphone sg. Im in college to be an engineer and my dad had given me a couple crash courses in soldering and I had my own kit, so I decided to put the pickup in by myself. Yes, it worked and I'm proud of that. But what was even more impressive of a "happy accident" was that I wired it wrong somehow. I tried to channel Clapton's Woman Tone from SOYL. and my guitar made a Wah effect. Full open like I like the pedal (for tone purposes rather than an effect). I wired my guitar to sound like a Wah pedal 😂😂
Guessing you soldered them out of phase with each other?
I clicked on the video to check out the pickups 10 seconds into the video I forgot all about the pickups. This guy is awesome!
Man.... that “Can’t Find My Way Home” melody at the beginning was dope🔥🧨
I was sold as soon as I heard that thick gnarly crunch and tbat butter lead tone. The rest was just icing on the cake. The thickness on that leads reminds me a lot of Angus' Young's earlier tones.
That SG sounds amazing in those hands!
I have been watching this video multiple times a day, since it was released, and I just cannot get enough. I have a request tho SD folks, please release a follow up series where perhaps Doug shares his thoughts on these pickups, and kind of digs into what the pickups bring to the table. Also, as for all the awesome new SD videos, a bloopers real would be AWESOME!
These are great ideas!! We do occasionally release blooper reels- we have a lot!
+Seymour Duncan Just more videos featuring Dougs playing would be awesome.. only a matter of time before he really blows up. what a player!
Rappaport is amazing. probably one of my new favorites. and that guit love face. .
I love Doug's playing!! Aside from all of my growing up years hero's that I had,he has become my new hero! That pickup sounds amazing as well!
Seen a million demo videos, this is one of the very best. Produced/edited well, and absolutely killer tone.
Great sounding pickups with one of the best players out there, awesome
Think I’ve had these pickups for almost 2 years in my lp and I still get amazed by how good they sound. I play through my Line 6 Pod Go with headphones and I don’t think it gets much better than this. They have crunch, mellow cleans, and everything in between.
i just cat stop coming back to this video, everything about it fills me with joy, such amazing tone and playing, great expression, on his face too,lol
Seen a bunch of demos and it doesnt matter what kind of guitars,amps or pickups his using it all sounds the same which is great!Its in his hands plus tons of heart&soul.
I just had a set fitted to my LP and I couldn't be happier. I use a Blackstar valve combo and the combination is just what I was looking for. These pickups do exactly what the publicity says they will. An excellent pickup for classic/blues/70s rock. Both my amp and guitar sound better than ever...I am a VERY happy customer :)
Sheeessh! That tone in the opener! That feel! Man, I’m just inspired and thankful!
Dang these things are some of the best humbuckers I've heard!
Edit- I have now watched this video half a dozen times. I will be buying a set right after I finish this comment!
His phrasing is amazing.
THANKS , I have listened to this so many times. I wish I could put those in my SG sounds like the perfect combination. Hope that my son will be able to play like that some day.
God bless you much today and every day Doug. Love your blues on the Texas seymour duncan video. Amazing
The best Duncan demo ever!
Hands down the best vintage output pickups I've heard in a long time.
Hi
Don't forget that we don't hear only the pickups
Is the right combination that matters
Pedals amplifier speakers 😉
Great sounding pickups! Doug is THE Man!!!!
Love Doug's phrasing ! Great pickups !
the playing is so good, it took a while to notice how badass the studio is
I could keep watching this over and over.
very nice work on this sound ! my 50ish years old ear love it :)
and indeed all this studio rig looks/sounds awesome
Those first finger bends and vibrato. Very nice.
His phrasing in this video and sound is so tasteful , beautifully evolving sound. 10/10 . Must have watched this YT Video a million times . Rock on everyone ! Put these in my Sheraton II. Beast.
dayum those are nice sounding pickups!!
Keith's rhythm tone sounds gnarly through virtually any setup. That first clip definitely had a touch of Merrow in it!
Great playing! I have a set of these pickups in my Les Paul Custom. These pickups sound amazing in my guitar!!!! The tone from these pickups is incredibl. I can play anything from Benson in the neck pickup to a screaming Tele chicken pickin' tone! Great job by Seymour Duncan!!!!!
Rappoport has made a killer demo, the pickups sound really great in differents settings.
Thank you! The more I hear of the 'Saturday', the more I like it. I think they would sound great in my LP Classic :)
Saw Doug.
Clicked, right away.
Knew it was good before I even heard it.
Stunning stuff! Love it.
Doug always makes me want to buy everything he touches 😁
I bought these pups for my Epi Paul, great upgrade. People make comments that they wish their Paul would sound like mine😊😊😊
Love to hear that! Thank you!!!
Seymour Duncan did it again, those are so nice clean sounding pickups with pristine gain tone It has that vintage PAF sound.
Man Seymour Duncan is on a roll! I hadn't heard of Doug Rappoport before but man he's good! These are definitely going into my LP.
Man, those pickups sound great! I’ve checked out almost all the other vintage Seymour Duncan’s, but never these. Very nice.
This is the best way selling the product. Cheers.
Sounds great!
These pickups sound so amazing! Seymour never fails to impress. I think the bridge Saturday Night Special will be going in my next project guitar. I will be making a Fender Esquire type guitar with a mahogany body and a humbucker bridge and I think I have found the pickup that will be going in the bridge.
Doug for president! He's such a different player. Such taste.
THIS is how you demo pickups! Flawless victory!!!
This is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. The player, the guitar, the tone, the studio....wow. This is why I love being a guitarist. Bravo sir.
Thank you for noticing! We think so, too!
I should be thanking you...All my guitars have SD's. These video's for your pickups are stunning and extremely informative.
Tasty playing as usual from Doug! Big fan here.
Doug the Man. Nice looking studio.
I wish i could take a few lessons. Pick his brain for a hour. Your an inspiration Doug.
Sounds perfect!
This dude is awesome! and the tones!
Wonderful Tone and playing
Fantastic player as always. This SG's wood grain is awesome by the way.!
Great tones!
I just installed these on my PRS 245. They're hands down the best pickups i've heard. Granted, I can't play as well as this guy, but my tone is a spot on match.. I'm using an ID core Blackstar and these are bad ass!!! Buy these PERIOD 👍🏼🎸
Thank you for the kind words! We are so happy you like them!
You playing is insane man. These pickups too.
These pick ups seem to be a perfect balance! very keen to get some
Doug I like the new demo gig with SD.
Sound great!
Killer playing!!!
Rappaport is awesome pickups sound killer too!
I have a totally man crush on this pickup :)
You can really tell when someone enjoys the sound they are playing.. love that little leg lift :)
doug rocks and so these pickups.
Rappaport= perfect tone/technique. luv all my Duncans....I dont have these yet....but.
Awesome!
Sweet mother of god, that sounds fantastic!
Doug is such a badass player. Tasty as hell!
Love them. I just recently put a set of active EMG Hot 77 pickups and they're just too hot for me. I REALLY like how these sound. I'm sold!
Doug = Amazing!!!!!
Really cool demo !
Blimey! It's Angus Rappoport!
Excellent
I think this guy will sound great with every pickup.
Great demo
Smoking! Love to see Doug Rappoport live! Just picked up a set of these for my 2020 Am-Pro II Tele Deluxe. Hoping I get some great tones out of them. If not, I can always try them in my '61 SG Reissue.
Hi 😊
Did you put them in the Tele?
And?
Your Tele has the wide range hums?
Best tone yet out of a SG. Bad ass player makes ALL the difference. He could make a Teisco scream.
perfect player for the demo!
amzing tone and also always awazing player
Great tone! Hopefully I can get the same tone.
Amazing player
I put one of these in the bridge of my Carvin CS6. The website describes this pickup as perfect for replicating that late-70's arena rock tone...that's about the best way to describe it. I was blown away by how good it sounds. It is very responsive to heavy or light picking and rolling the guitar volume back. My Carvin and Marshall DSL stack together sounded pretty darn good before. Now they sound like pure gold.
My original plan was to only replace the bridge pickup. I really like the C22N neck pickup in my Carvin but after hearing how good the Saturday Night Special bridge sounds, I may replace the neck pup as well.
Awesome! We are happy you found your tone (at least in the bridge...for now).
I have the first iteration of the whole lotta hbs on my 79 Silverburst,Sounds amazing.My 61 SG has two SH1s which I think are the most amazing HBs out there. And I had Maricela make a pair of Telegib Hbs which I put on my Telegib since I couldn't get a 35 Guitar. Oh and my Flying V which is a 67 RI has Pearly Gates which compliment the guitar to sonic nirvana.....
Considering putting some slash pickups in my warlock. Seymour Duncan makes some of the best pickups around.
Taste and technique. Yum!
Thinking of either getting these or Pearly gates for my Epiphone SG. Just looking to get and AC/DC esque tone.
Tone for days!
Coincidentally, today I was looking into some hotter PAF voiced pickups for my SG and these SD stood out along with some Dimarzio fortitudes so uh...thanks for settling that debate for me. Beautiful sound. Even better playing.
Doug is just the real deal
Man I came for the pickups but I'm leaving with Friedman on my brain, sick demo pickups did sound great 👍
I've got these in an epiphone LP and they sound WAY better than my LP studio does!
