The Twang Banger is a seriously fun pickup, bringing a modern edge to that classic Tele twang. It’s got a surprising amount of low-end grunt for a single coil, making it great for country, rock, or even some heavier styles – perfect for players who want a hotter, more aggressive single-coil tone.

Product Description

Seymour Duncan APST-1 Twang Banger, Twang Banger Single Coil, With its copper-plated baseplate, high winding count and Alnico II magnet, the PU is able to create sounds that combine the strong T-style punch with bell-shaped ST-Style tone

PROS
  • • Copper baseplate enhances clarity and eliminates unwanted noise
  • • Alnico II magnet delivers a sweet, bell-like high-end response
  • • High winding count provides a surprisingly robust and punchy low-end
  • • Excellent build quality; feels solid and inspires confidence.
CONS
  • • Can be a bit too aggressive for very subtle, nuanced tones
  • • May lack the glassy, airy quality of some vintage single coils
  • • High output can drive some amps into distortion quickly.
