About the Seymour

Antiquity and Antiquity II, respectively. Then Benedetto jazz
guitar pickups and finally the union of Seymour Duncan and
Rick Turner to from D-TAR, Duncan-Turner Acoustic Research.

The Seymour Duncan
Story
Seymour W. Duncan
is a guitarist and guitar repairman, but is perhaps best known
as the man behind Seymour Duncan Pickups, the world's leading
manufacturer of guitar and bass pickups located in Santa Barbara,
California. A good portion of Seymour's life has been devoted
to studying, and helping to create some of the world's most
identifiable guitar tones.
Born in New Jersey,
Seymour grew up in the fifties and sixties, during a time
when electric guitar music grew into greater acceptance. Seymour's
teenage passion was focused upon guitars by a great uncle
who introduced him to the music and legend of Charlie Christian,
Chet Atkins and Les Paul.
Seymour quickly
progressed from strumming in his bedroom to jamming in packed
clubs where his talent was unquestionable (unlike the fake
I.D. he used to get inside for his gigs). One night during
a session, his Telecaster's lead pickup broke, and he was
forced to play the rest of the night on the rhythm pickup.
Necessity being the mother of invention, Seymour rewound that
lead pickup on a record player spinning at 33 1/3 rpm.
While he developed
his playing skills, Seymour's knowledge of how guitars work
developed at an equally prodigious pace. Seymour took every
chance he had to talk with players about guitars, tone and
electronics. After spending time with musicians such as Les
Paul and Roy Buchanan, Seymour realized that it was his guitar,
and not his playing, that prevented him from producing those
wonderful tones that defined great players. Suddenly, and
forever, Seymour was hooked on the dynamics and character
differences of pickups.
As Seymour tinkered
devotedly with materials and techniques, his bag of tricks
grew and grew. At Les Paul's suggestion, he bolted for England
in the late '60s where his intention to play soon mixed with
the opportunity to further his pickup research working in
the Repair and R&D Departments at the Fender Soundhouse
in London. It was here that he did repairs and rewinds for
such artists as Jimmy Page, George Harrison, Eric Clapton,
Pete Townshend, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Frampton, and Seymour's
guitar hero, Jeff Beck. It was through his work with Beck
in particular, that Seymour honed his pickup winding skills
-- some of Seymour's first signature pickup tones appear on
JeffÃs early solo albums. Seymour's sabbatical in England
resulted in a flock of new fans and friends.
Seymour came back
to the United States, and eventually settled in California.
He established contact with industry luminaries such as Leo
Fender, Les Paul, and Seth Lover (inventor of the humbucker
pickup) and continued learning about and making pickups. Demand
for his custom pickups grew and, in late 1978, together with
Cathy Carter Duncan, he started his own company, Seymour Duncan
Pickups. Today Seymour and Cathy are surrounded by 60 employees
whose dedication results in the continual refinement of pickup
tone and technology.
Seymour's latest
venture is the Antiquity and Antiquity II Series of hand wound
and aged pickups which produce the genuine sound and vibe
of pickups made in the '50s and '60s. Seymour's dedication
to music has always been focused on helping musicians achieve
the tone that sets them apart. His regular appearance at clinics
and conventions is part of this on-going commitment to helping
players learn and capture the special tone that expresses
their inspiration. Seymour has made pickups for most of today's
most discerning and diverse players from Aerosmith to ZZ Top
and all points in between.
