Seymour Duncan started the business in the 1970s. He opened a small shop with his wife Cathy and the rest is history. He has wound pickups for just about everyone if fame and has special relationships with many of the greats including Billy Gibbons, Slash, Brad Paisley, Eric Clapton and many others.
The brand has pickups of all types of electric instruments for every need from Blues to Metal and the brand is recognized worldwide as one of the best.
There are various intracies to creating a pickup but Magnets and the DC resistance are the Bert and Ernie of Tone. This reference chart shows the general tonal characteristics of our magnets. Generally, the more wire wound on the coils—or how “hot” they are—the higher the DC resistance and the darker it will sound.
| ALNICO 2 | ALNICO 5 | ALNICO 8 | CERAMIC | |
| TONE | Warm, smooth, round, enhanced mids, soft and spongy bass, soft attack | Bright and glassy, exceptional dynamic and tight bass end, sharp attack | The strongest & loudest Alnico magnet. Exceptional mid-range, smooth treble response. Big low-end response–but tight. Best used in bridge position | Bright with enhanced upper mids, hard aggressive harmonics, compressed dynamics, and punchy bass |
| DISTORTION | Full and round(Duane Allman or Slash) | Full with a bright top end (Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton) | Edgy (but not brittle) and full of rich harmonic content | Crunchy sizzly distortion (Dimebag Darrell) |
