Seymour Duncan Custom Shop 78
Great sounding Pickup, it has a very immediate response with great pick attack, making it great for pinch Harmonic But it has what I really wanted, a nice singing quality. It's good for tapping and specially for legato lines, I'm not a tapper but I love the Allan Holdsworth style legato you can get with this pickup, it's gainy but not compressed which i like a lot, I was not a fan of Bridge Humbuckers in SSH config for that reason, and is why I have played mostly SSS Strats for the last 7 or 8 years. I have had tons of humbucker over the 40 years i have been playing guitar, and I put this at the top for a SSH configuration. The price was more than I'm used to paying for, but again haven't purchased any Humbuckers is years and all the good Boutique HB's are in this price range. For the guitar I installed it in, an IBZ AZ, I was initially going to put a Tyler Super then I heard Pablo Padillo using this in Vid and it was exactly what I was looking for. Nothing against Tyler I have some of his pups and they make some of the best Pickups I have ever heard. I also have several SD JB’s one from the early 80’s, and a SD Allan Holdsworth, I also have a Gibson T Top PAF, I like the Custom 78 much more than any of those pickups YMMV.
