Seymour Duncan Philip Sayce Big Daddy Pickups

The Philip Sayce “Big Daddy” Stratocaster® Pickup Set is a tonal tribute to the pickups found in one of Philip’s favourite vintage guitars. Capturing all the power and character that ‘60s Strat® pickups are known for, the Big Daddy set is a snapshot of how a great set of pickups sound after 60+ years of aging and countless high-intensity performances. To recreate these special pickups, the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop and engineering team took special care to develop a recipe that would sonically match the tone, feel, and output characteristics of the originals: A full-bodied neck pickup, “greasy” and expressive middle pickup, and a unique bridge pickup with the perfect amount of power and  highs that cut through without being too harsh.

In honour of Big Daddy’s 1963 vintage, the first 630 sets of the Philip Sayce “Big Daddy” Stratocaster® Pickups are specially aged in the Custom Shop to match the look of the originals. They include a certificate of authenticity signed by Philip and Seymour W. Duncan inside the limited-edition packaging. All sets are pad-printed with Philip’s signature on the flatwork.
