Seymour Duncan Users Thread

[markcasq]

Not sure if meron nang ganitong thread, puro dimarzio yung nakikita ko kasi.  I also checked the newbie sticky, I didn't find any.
Mods - pa lock na lang if a thread like this already exist.

If this is a unique thread, then welcome to the Seymour Duncan thread.  share your pickups, your reviews and help our fellow guitarist find the right Seymour Duncan pickups.

Here are the ones I have: Duncan '59s neck, Jazz neck (6 and 7 string version), JB bridge, Duncan Custom bridge (6 and 7 string version)

I'm a big fan of '59 neck! Smooth, fat yet still has snap/clang of a single coil.

Very organic sounding pup =)

Meron akong naka abang for a Les Paul proj--Jazz/JB combo.Ahehe ayun nakaabang pa din.Pang mahogany yata talaga ang JB.
Baka ibenta ko din.Di pa naikabit kaya di ko alam kung ok tunog.

[lykenhowl]

Only have a pair of Duncan designed (Does it count???  ) active Pups and I'm ok with but I really want to try SD's though.

[KASALANAN]

used to have the classic JB/JAZZ combo on my prs singlecut before also duncan designed HB set on my jackson kelly before and an SD screaming demon on my schecter C1 classic before i miss those guitars haha

Primary Axe:
Dean VMNT equipped with Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine LiveWire


Secondary Axe:
Jackson King V JS32T upgraded to Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine LiveWire




These are basically active 9v versions of the famous Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB and SH-2n Jazz.

A super chunky combo perfect for standard tuning and even drop D (and D-standard), but if you go any further (d flat, C, B, etc.) it gets a bit muddy. With my very limited* experience in EMG81/85 and SD Blackouts, I still think LiveWires are better, the former two being too thin.

*: Very limited for me means just borrowed them from friends, played with them, and have not actually owned them.

Do you use them in a les paul?  I use '59 neck of my Standard, sounds great.  How does the Seth Lover compare?  What I like about '59 is that it is sparkly/punchy/thick/enough output that I really like.  How about the seth lover?

[Freak]

I has a pair of getcha pull here  UNUSED




Still waiting for a mahogany bodied guitar

curently i use them in my es335 nice tone balance between sparkle and thickness hehe

[sirbutch]

the standard neck lipstick on my multiac spectrum s/a provides some warmth to the bright acoustic tone of the bridge piezo, particularly when blended some 1/3s in... still have to experiment more though...

Nice!!! Rock on bro!

[spetsnaz1123]

for heavy chug chug, sound happy na ako sa SD distortion and paired it with 59's sa neck on my RG...pero I am still on honeymoon stage with it, I would like to try it with high gain amps and other pedals (i.e. tightmetal, triplewreck etc.) and see how it sounds like.

[spetsnaz1123]

I really like to try it with high gain amps and other pedals though.

Ang ganda bro, very tight.. sarap ng chug chug saka harmonics!  Sakto bro, ayus.  ganda din nung shredhead pala, and yung cub12R.  Salamat!

oo sir. it makes it sound bigger with more mids. unfortunately yung ganung sound not for everyone. try it. depende sa tugtugan mo. yung dalawang yan sa picture dinkies din both alder bodied.
