  • Fender DH8 pups

    Does anyone know which Seymour Duncan pup is closest in sound to fender DH8's? I heard that SD make these pups and they are renamed for Fender or something?
    My 'gear':

    Off-white Fender Prodigy with Duncan JB in the bridge. Dodgy single coils, too...

    Ibanez Tubescreamer, true bypass :saeek: .

    ISP Decimator Noise Reducer.

    Current Guitar longings - creme U.S Fender Floyd Rose Strat, with DiMarzio Super Distortion in teh bridge.

      Do you mean the DH-1 humbucker that is in the American Deluxe Fat Strat (H/S/S) models? If that's the one you're talking about I've never heard anyone say that it was made by SD, or if a SD pick-up is similar to it. But then again, what do I know? (Answer: nothing!)

        They're stock pups in the Strats that Adrian Smith uses as far as I konw, but I don't know where I can get hold of them.

          Yes! DH-1! My mistake (where did I hear DH-8 from then? )

            I swear the DH-1 was made by SeymourDuncan though.

              I asked my local Fender dealer about the price on those DH-1 pick-ups, and he said that Fender doesn't sell them separately. You'll have to find a used one on E-Bay or some classified ads.

                  that DH-1 is a great pickup. i played one on an older hss american deluxe and the only thing i didnt dig was the fact that there was a lot of hum. but the pickup was not at fault. supposedly fender had a wiring fault on many of the hss locking trem deluxes that year. i did find a dealer that sold them separately once but i forget where i saw it. ill link u if i can find it.

                    I believe that's what's in my neck pickup of my Tele Special (Fat Tele). Chrome covered on mine. Great sounding pickup! Also sounds great split to still get a nice single coil neck tone.
