    Seymour Duncan himself greets PG’s crew and begins the tour by talking about his early days in the pickup business. He started re-winding pickups for David Schecter, then jumped into the big time via a large order from Japan-doing all his company’s early flatwork by hand. He also recounts meeting and being helped by Bill Carson, a co-designer of Leo Fender’s classic early instruments, including the Stratocaster, and gleaning tips from the legendary pickup designer Seth Lover. Plus, he recounts his time with Jeff Beck, George Fullerton, Ted McCarty, and other heroes of guitar.

    Seymour is a great human and so full of history. Right up the coast from me in Ventura and has provided pickups for all of my guitars! Love them and him

    It’s funny how all boutique makers rave about their hand wound humbuckers yet Duncan is saying they have to be machine wound!

      I mean it makes sense, if you want to cancel a hum you're not going to get a more precise opposite wind by hand!

    That first photo of Seymour and Cathy, Seymour looks like he could be in Molly Hatchet or the Allman Brothers Band.
    Awesome folks. My only beef is the giant logo on their stuff now.

    Gene Simmons: It never dawned on me that someone could make a living winding pickups.
