What players and reviewers say
On the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop El Diablo
“The El Diablo, although with a weaker alnico2 mag, is wound "hotter" and has lower highs, higher mids and an overall more balanced eq..”
“Whta concerns me is the lack of warmth in the low mids and bass of the El Diablo in clips that the 5150 is able to get .”
On the Seymour Duncan Stag Mag (SH-3)
“The goal is to have the stag mag in the bridge for twang surf guitar and Jerry Garcia tones, and the jazz in the neck for Wes Montgomery chord action and warm deep blues rippage.”
“Yeah, the Stag Mag has noticeably more bass when in 'bucker mode, and more chime when in split mode.”
