What players and reviewers say

On the Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker (SH-18)

“With similar push and drive as the 59 Model set, the Whole Lotta Humbucker is a little more articulate in the lows and a little tastier in the highs.”

“There is a really nice balance to the set, compliments of a slight snarl in the mids.”
