From all of us at Seymour Duncan, we are very saddened to hear of the passing of the legendary Jeff Beck. Jeff was one of the most influential guitarists of all time and a dear friend of Seymour’s for decades. Rest in peace, Jeff. #SeymourDuncan #JeffBeck

Here's a little piece of guitar history for you—Seth Lover invented the humbucker we know as the P.A.F. in 1955. In 1994, he and Seymour W. Duncan collaborated on an authentic recreation of his original P.A.F.:

What was @JBonamassa's litmus test for his signature 1950 Broadcaster Set? He told @PremierGuitar, "Seymour Duncan actually bought a Squier as the test guitar—and that’s a true test. If your Squier sounds as good as that Broadcaster, then we’ve done our job.”. #SeymourDuncan

Our new "The Blonde Dot" set may be modeled after the beautifully balanced P.A.F. humbuckers in Joe Bonamassa's 1960 Gibson ES-335, but they add that sought-after P.A.F. tone to any guitar: #SeymourDuncan #JoeBonamassa #SethLover
