I purchased a new set of SD Custom Shop pickups on eBay from somebody that changed their mind in between placing the order and receiving the pickups. They stated that the changed their mind on the bridge type and needed regular spacing instead of trem-spaced. Regardless the pickups appear to be something I have been wanting for a while.
Basically they are EVH type, with standard legs, 4 conductor, and AII magnets. Bridge is a TB.
This is where it gets a little interesting. The receipt says "SWD Custom-Set of EVH WOlfgang (newest Fender version) HB's". The box clear states AII mags 8.6k on neck and 14.7k on the bridge. So the specs appear to be different then the Wolfgang pickups which I have heard are ceramic mags and the neck appears to have a very different resistance. I am OK with all of this because the spec are very much to my desire. In fact I kind of feel that these are the perfect specs for what I want. But why the changes in mag and resistance if they are supposed to be the "Wolfgang Newest Fender Version"? This could just be MJ's attempt to avoid copyright aggreements or more of a Franenstien set.
Any thoughts?
