The perfect tone for rockabilly, country, blues, and more

Most of the musical styles that sprang from the sound of the electric guitar were originally established on the sound of pickups that were just like Seymour Duncan's California '50s. That's because Seymour Duncan designed their California '50s around the same core ideas. At the core, each California '50 pickup features a staggered pattern of hand-ground and sand-cast Alnico V magnets. Combined with vintage-correct materials such as Formvar magnet wire and hand-fabricated forbon bobbins, these pickups give you sweet, bell-like mids, sparkling high-end bite, and a percussive "quack" that adds just the right amount of grit to your rhythm-style strumming.

Reverse middle pickup for greater tonal versatility — only with the Seymour Duncan California '50s Set at Sadek Music.

Unlike most true vintage pickup configurations, the Seymour Duncan California '50s set includes a reverse-polarity, reverse-wound (RWRP) middle pickup, giving you an even wider range of tonal possibilities. In positions 1, 3, and 5, your Strat-style guitar delivers the classic single-coil tones that defined the ‘50s era. But in positions 2 and 4, the reversed phase of the middle pickup combines with the bridge or neck pickup to create hum-canceling, humbucker-like tones — rich, full, and noise-free. Experience the perfect blend of vintage character and modern versatility with the Seymour Duncan California '50s Pickup Set, available now at Sadek Music.
