What are Duncan's top 3 best-selling pickups?

[Rex_Rocker]

I guess this is more of a guessing game kinda thread. I would assume the JB is right up there, but what else do you guys think?

My guess is it's probably the '59 Neck and maybe the Distortion or the Custom.

As far as Strat pickups, I'd be willing to be the Hot Rails is right up there too. But do they sell as many Strat or Tele pickups as much as they do Humbuckers? I doubt it.

What do you guys think?

Maybe JB, Jazz, and 59?

59, JB, Distortion over lifetime, would be my guess. I think Custom would only enter in if you are counting all the variants together.

I'd guess SSL-1, SSL-5 and Classic Stack Plus for Strat. I bet they sell as many singles as hums. Seymour started doing Strat pickups.

I'd guess JB, Jazz N and 59 N solely from OEM.

I was wondering the other day about the lowest selling production pickup. Duckbucker maybe?

 

[Chistopher]

The 7 string Bendetto has got to have minimal sales. Who has a 7 string jazz box with no pickup routes?

George Van Eps 7 string swing is actually making a comeback. Pretty difficult to play, too.

I would also guess that the jb bridge, '59 and jazz (neck) would be the three top sellers.

Surely any of many one off custom shop designed pups.

Apart from the jb, surprising.

I got the Hot Rails! LOL.

But yeah, I totally forgot about the Jazz. I'm surprised the Jazz sells more than the '59, though. I'm surprised any of those pickups sell more than the '59. I honestly could've sworn the JB/'59 set was more popular than the actual Hot Rodded JB/Jazz set.

I may be responsible for the JB/JAZZ being so high on that list

I do have a lot of em

 

[GuitarStv]

The '59 neck seems to be in a LOT of guitars as OEM equipment.

Got to the Seymour Duncan Shop. Look for the Products and sort it along Most Popular.

Edit: That works on my ipad, but not on my mobile.

still I've never never never liked the Jazz and it amazes me how it is liked instead.... (actually the SD HB I like the most is the Jazz with A2, the A2P , isn't it odd?)

Same here, brother.

Well, the Jazz has been around longer than the A2P. It's also cheaper. And it's like the "official" companion of their best-selling pickup No wonder it's more popular than the A2P.

I've never tried the A2P more than just a few chords, but I'd love to. Seems like the EQ would be right up my alley. But at the same time, I wouldn't want any less output than the Jazz (which I don't really like, TBH). So not sure. Maybe an A2P-B in the neck would be nice for me.
