Seymour Duncan Buying Guide: Pickups, Pedals, and Beyond

Seymour Duncan Buying Guide

Seymour Duncan (the company) has been producing top-tier pickups since 1976, but Seymour Duncan (the man) got his start in the late '60s wiring pickups for the likes of Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page, and working with Seth Lover, inventor of the humbucker, as a mentor.

Seymour Duncan guitar and bass pickups are still installed on countless instruments worldwide -- and are often included as standard upgrades in guitars. The company's entrance into the pedal world has been a stunning success with innovation at every turn. Shop our Seymour Duncan Buying Guide to learn more about what this top brand has to offer!

Seymour Duncan Single-Coil Pickups
Strat and Tele players also know Seymour Duncan for their creative single-coil-sized models. Case in point: the innovative Hot Rails pickup, which has given many a Strat player humbucker-thick tones that fit in their SSS-shaped pickguard -- or the signature bite that a set of Quarter Pound pickups can add to a Tele.
