FOR TONE THAT SETS YOU APART
why do some
players get
righteous tone?
the pickups?
uh-huh.
And just what is righteous tone?
Is it singing highs or sustain-for-days? Is it perfect
harmonics that cut through like never before?
Or richer, thicker, punchier bottom end?
Thousands of famous artists and working musicians
have asked themselves these same questions.
Their solution? Seymour Duncan and Basslines
pickups. Why? Because righteous tone doesn't just
happen.
Righteous tone comes from years of inventive research
and acquired technical knowledge. Righteous tone
comes from a 100%, no-compromise attitude about our
product.
From the hand assembly to the fanatical quality
control, we have a passionate devotion to making sure
our product is the best it can possibly be.
Righteous tone also comes from the people who make
the pickups. And because we’re a company of guitar
and bass players, we know tone. And we know what it
takes to give you the tone you’re looking for.
Our devotion to our customers starts with our product
development and extends to our network of authorized
dealers and our 21-Day Real World Exchange Policy.
It’s all about taking care of you by helping you find
Tone That Sets You Apart™.

Invented in 1955 by Seth E. Lover, humbuckers
revolutionized the sound of guitar music.
The tone is bigger and fatter than traditional single-coils,
and the 60-cycle hum is gone. Each of these humbuckers
offers a player-approved answer to the question,
“How can I sound better?”
