What players and reviewers say
On the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Éclair
“The mids have more of a growl, if you are expecting the roar of the JB.”
“To maintain the comparison, players that find the JB's low end too boomy will appreciate the bold yet genteel firm lows of the Éclair.”
On the Seymour Duncan Stag Mag (SH-3)
“Either alone, or in tandem, these run the gamut from glassy to snappy to quacky to edgy to full to big to warm.”
