Seymour Duncan Seth Lover, Neck

Seth Lover is the man who invented the humbucker, and the Seymour Duncan pickups that bear his name are built exactly the way he designed them, down to the minutest details. The mold used for the butyrate bobbins was created by the same factory that built the original PAF mold for Gibson. Each one is wound on the original Leesona winding machine from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI., which Seymour Duncan now owns. Other key details include specially manufactured 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, nickel silver cover, 2.5-inch alnico 2 bar magnet, custom machined metal and maple spacers, single conductor push-back braided lead wire, and nickel silver bottom plate.

The Seth Lover neck model sounds warm, airy, and open, striking just the right balance of low end warmth with a smooth but articulate top end. The alnico 2 bar magnet helps to sweeten the high end response, while the vintage output coils bring out this pickups rich harmonic content. Chords will have a full, open sound, and single notes will have a soft, yet articulate feel. The un-potted nickel silver cover gives the tone an almost piano-like percussive quality. Pair with the Seth lover neck model for the perfect PAF setup. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA.
