On the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Warren Demartini RTM

“From the first big open chord, you can hear definition within the smooth roar.”

“What you get with the RTM is a low end that's firm with a little bit of sag and a high end that has a touch of sweetness to it's bite.”

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.”
