What players and reviewers say
On the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Slug
“I liked it with the vari-air thing Falbo came up with, mag touching the slug coil on the bass side, mag touching the screw coil on the treble side, kinda crooked in there.”
“I don't think it's a tight, percussive, metal beast like the Titans or the SLUG, but it's a great pickup.”
