Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker (SH-18)
Medium output, clear and balanced.
Hotter than 52% of the 230 neck humbuckers we have · estimated from resistance
- Alnico 5 magnet: the common all-rounder: firm lows and clear highs
“Tried a Whole Lotta Humbucker and that went too far the other way as I suppose I like hotter than vintage and it was too harsh in the midrange, too spiky.”

Knaggs Kenai Tier 1: Whole Lotta Humbucker
“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.”
“Tried a Whole Lotta Humbucker and that went too far the other way as I suppose I like hotter than vintage and it was too harsh in the midrange, too spiky.”
“I have my Whole Lotta Neck set fairly close to the strings (2/32 ths for both the treble and bass side) I have not adjusted the polepieces.”
