bmusic - Product News and Reviews

After 25 years, Seymour Duncan company manufactures much more than electric guitar pickups. The finest in bass pickups under the brand name "Basslines" were next, then Seymour's authentic replications of pickups from the 50's and 60's, aptly named 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.

There are now close to 200 different Seymour Duncan brand pickups online at bmusic.com.au with more being added almost every week. It's an exhausting catalogue and we could not even begin to touch on it all as part of this feature. So we will simply outlay the different series' of Seymour Duncan company pickups available and you can see more for yourself in your series of interest below.

Not only has the range available online at bmusic.com.au been extended greatly, but the entire Seymour Duncan range has undergone a significant price drop this year. How does a humbucker that formerly retailed for $209.95 now available for $145.95 sound? Or Antiquity humbuckers that were selling for $399.95 a week ago now going for $250.00? Now that's what we call significant price drops. The changes are due, in part, to the stronger Australian dollar as well as negotiations with the Australian importer with Seymour Duncan for some price parity with the US. Combine that with out own new aggressive below retail pricing structure and Seymour Duncan for Aussies has never been better.
