Product Overview
Peter Frampton “Frampton Comes Alive” MJ40th Humbucker Pickups - signed by Peter and MJ and boxed in MJ’s 40th Anniversary limited edition Custom Shop packaging.
When Maricela “MJ” Juarez first started winding pickups at Seymour Duncan in 1983 she already had dreams of working with one guitarist in particular: the one and only Peter Frampton. Once she began managing the Custom Shop and building pickups for some of the biggest guitarists in music, her dream came true. MJ was afforded the opportunity to wind a set of humbuckers for Peter. He has since used these pickups in countless recordings and performances over the years.
The Frampton Comes Alive Humbucker set is built to those same specs with Alnico 2 magnets and a vintage output for Peter’s dynamic, stadium-filling sound. The first 160 sets were signed by Frampton and MJ and will show you the way to Peter’s great humbucker tone - whether through your talk box or the sound system of a sold-out arena! To quote Peter: “They bring the best out of the guitar.”
The first 160 sets of the Peter Frampton “Frampton Comes Alive” MJ40th Humbucker Pickups are signed by Peter and MJ, boxed in MJ’s 40th Anniversary limited edition Custom Shop packaging. After the 160 limited sets have sold, the MJ40th Anniversary pickups will be available with no artist signature and standard custom shop packaging until March 29th, 2024.
Peter Frampton has elected that a portion of the profits from the “Frampton Comes Alive” MJ40th Pickups will be donated to The Peter Frampton Myositis Research Fund as well as Notes for Notes, who provide youth with free access to music instruments, instruction and recording studio environments so that music may become a profoundly positive influence in their lives.
MJ Remarks: 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. Peter Frampton, Steve Miller, and Pete Anderson are like family to me, and it has been an honour to help them craft their signature sounds that have been heard by people all over the world. Now we are excited to give musicians everywhere access to these special pickups we have created together. I hope they bring you joy, inspiration and great tone!
