What players and reviewers say
On the Seymour Duncan Twang Banger (APST-1)
“That Twang Banger can bite my arm off, and it keeps me awake at night...”
“When you have such an open sound with as much punch as the Twang Banger has, in an ash and maple combination it's a pretty stark contrast to the Alnico II Pros.”
