Seymour Duncan 50th Anniversary Custom Set

The Custom Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Custom Shop Set stands as a tribute to one of the most distinctive pickup voices ever created

For fifty years, Seymour Duncan has helped shape the voice of electric guitar, blending tradition with forward-thinking design. To mark this milestone, the Duncan Custom Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Custom Shop Set stands as a tribute to one of the most distinctive pickup voices ever created. Limited to just 500 sets, this release celebrates the beginning of the high-gain era when players demanded more from their instruments, and Seymour answered with pickups that delivered. At the heart of this set is the Duncan Custom bridge pickup, a medium-output design born from the demand for more power in the early days of high-gain rock.

Its small ceramic magnet and custom-wound coils deliver tight, focused lows, a pronounced upper-mid presence, and top end that cuts with clarity under gain while remaining articulate in clean settings. It retains the organic response of a vintage humbucker with added punch and harmonic density, preserving your guitar’s character while hitting the front end of your amp harder. Paired with the perfect complement, the ‘59 Model Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Custom Shop neck pickup, this set offers a tonal combination that legendary artists have relied on for decades.
