Seymour Duncan APTL-3 JD BLK

When Jerry Donahue needed a touring guitar with the exact same sound as his prized ‘52, he turned to Seymour who accurately duplicated the warm, punchy tone of its lead pickup. Seymour used Alnico 2 rod magnets and a special wind for increased sustain and output. Symmetrically staggered pole pieces mirror the fingerboard radius and assure exceptionally balanced string-to-string response. The result is a traditional, sweet and balanced tone, with high-end detail combined with low-end fatness and punch, and tons o’ twang.

Available in lead (bridge) position only. The APTR-1 is the closest match in the rhythm (neck) position. However Jerry uses an APS-2 Alnico II Pro™ in the neck position. For brighter toned instruments. Works especially well with maple fingerboards.

Players: Jerry Donahue, Dan Schafer / Shania Twain, Johnny Garcia / Trisha Yearwood & Garth Brooks, Todd Robinson / Luis Miguel, Tom Principato
