London in the early Seventies was the center of the guitar universe, the place where some of the greatest players of the classic rock era were living, performing and recording.

Seymour Duncan was there too, sought by the famous and soon-to-be-famous for his skills as a guitar tech and his ability to uniquely rewind a pickup so that it matched a player's voice and style. Duncan's pickups were an ingredient in the signature tones of guitarists like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Pete Townsend, David Gilmour, Jimmy Page and scores of others.

One of the era's most recognizable and iconic sounds came via one of Page's Gibson Les Pauls that Duncan loaded with a pair of his specially rewound humbuckers, known for their incredibly powerful, clear top end, unbridled midrange and multidimensional crunch tone.
