    A limited run and handwound in Seymour Duncan’s custom shop!

    Seymour Duncan users are replacing the stock magnets in popular models and creating hybrids. The monikers they’ve given them include the “Custom 8”, “JB 8,” and “A4 ’59”.

    The Forum hasn’t thought of them all! There are opportunities for magnet swaps in popular Strat, Tele and P90 Models with hybrid combinations that have yet to be discovered.

    These home-grown designs are now readily available to AMS customers!

    The Seymour Duncan Concept

    An expertly curated collection of crowd-sourced, iterative new products based on magnet swaps and hybrid-coil designs. These come from existing popular pickup models, to meet home-grown demand from Seymour Duncan users, that is attractive to customers already making these products themselves.

    Why Magnets Matter

    Consider our Custom Custom (Alnico 2), Custom 5 (Alnico 5) and Duncan Custom (Ceramic) Models, their coils are wound precisely the same, yet all three sound and perform distinctly differently due to their respective magnet types.

    Magnet type affects a pickup’s Tone, Output, Feel and Playing Dynamics. Their interchangeability facilitates new pickup ideations across Humbuckers, Strat and Tele Single Coils, P90s, and even Humbucker-sized single coils like Rails and Lil/Jr.s.

    Seymour Duncan Custom Shop JB A8 59A4 Pickup Set Features:

    • JB Bridge - Alnico 8
    • 59 Neck - Alnico 4
    • Alnico 8 – The Strongest and loudest Alnico magnet. Exceptional mid-range, smooth treble response.
    • Alnico 4 – In between Alnico V and Alnico II in magnetism, Alnico IV Magnets have a tighter bass response than Alnico II and a more even mid-range response. They are brighter on the top than Alnico II but sweeter than Alnico V.
