Anybody excited or curious about Seymour Duncan's $1200 silver-wire cryogenically-aligned pickup sets? Anyone at all? No? ;)
I must say, the "technical summary" explaining the advantages of the new technology certainly makes all of the other products in their range sound like cheap, compromised pieces of cr@p overnight. Not sure that was what they were going for...
$1200!!!

So here is more magic snake oil for the cork sniffers... Apparently "Cryogenic Treatment" makes EVERYTHING better in marketing land... PDT_038 PDT_046
No Seymour...
"Extra cheese" is the only thing in the universe that makes everything better. PDT_015
I've been reading the threads about these over on the Duncan Forum and it's hilarious!
The guys from Duncan have always said that they won't do the whole 'boo-teek' thing like so may other manufacturers of pedals and pickups etc as it's not what they're about and then BAMM, a set of pickups for $1200 :lol:
I think it's great that they've made a set of pickups just for people on TGP :lol:
