To celebrate her 40th anniversary with the company Seymour Duncan has released limited-edition hand wound sets featuring collaborations with Peter Frampton, Steve Miller and Pete Anderson!
From MJ:
"When I started working at Seymour Duncan in March 1983, I had no idea that I would have the opportunity to custom-wind pickups for some of the best guitar players in music. Over the last 40 years, I have put my love, heart, and soul into every aspect of what I do here at the company."
