About this item

For fifty years, Seymour Duncan has shaped the voice of electric guitar, blending tradition with forward-thinking design. Limited to 500 sets, the Duncan Custom Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Custom Shop Set celebrates the birth of high-gain when players demanded more and Seymour answered. Each set is meticulously hand-built by our elite Custom Shop team, led by the legendary Maricela "MJ" Juarez, and features lightly aged vintage styling, signatures from Seymour W. Duncan and MJ.
The Duncan Custom’s ceramic magnet and custom-wound coils deliver tight, focused lows, pronounced upper-mid presence, and top end that cuts with clarity under gain while remaining articulate clean. It retains the organic response of a vintage humbucker with added punch and harmonic density. Paired with the 59 Model Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Custom Shop neck pickup, this tonal combination has powered legendary artists for decades.
The fundamental design of the Duncan Custom was defined when production started in the late '70s and hasn't changed since. Over the years, small adjustments were made to enhance consistency and give players more flexibility, like bobbins better suited for vacuum wax potting. To honor our history, this exclusive 50th Anniversary Custom Shop version returns to early specs including butyrate bobbins, long-leg baseplates, and maple spacers, while keeping the classic Duncan Custom tone intact.

Product Description

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.

Duncan himself and MJ on the bottom plates, original replica "Seymourized" stickers and model stickers, and commemorative anniversary packaging. Available in black or zebra, these 500 sets will go fast.
