Just saw one on eBay. Can't find any info on Google. Two slug coils. 4-conductor wiring. No holes in the bottom of the baseplate. Anyone have details on this model?

Re: Seymour Duncan "The Mag" humbucker
I checked the listing, and history of Seymour Duncan products, and found nothing to indicate Seymour Duncan ever had a humbucker called "The Mag". The title says "Seymour Duncan" and "Gibson SG" in it, with nothing to prove the pickup manufacturer. I think it is a sketchy listing.
EDIT: I had suspicions of it being similar to the Stag Mag, but didn't want to make any claims. I'm sure others would know about this more than me.Last edited by Myaccount876; 09-15-2013, 02:48 AM.

Re: Seymour Duncan "The Mag" humbucker
If memory serves me right the mag is a non staggered SH3 stag mag."It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you." -Bon Scott
"Let me put it this way: the 5150 will treat
you better than any girlfriend, because it screams louder, it's easier to pick up, and it shuts up when you take your plug out." -Rip Glitter

Re: Seymour Duncan "The Mag" humbucker
It's a flat-poled predecessor to the Stag Mag. I wish they still offered them as a standard production pickup. The vintage Strat stagger is retarded (unless you use a wound G).Originally posted by LesStratYogi Berra was correct.Originally posted by JOLLYI do a few chord things, some crappy lead stuff, and then some rhythm stuff.

Re: Seymour Duncan "The Mag" humbucker
Yep, Alnico 5 flat poles. The rod magnets also have the "bullseye" pattern on the top, so they look just like standard humbucker slugs.
I've had a couple "The Mag" pickups in the past and they're great. They're really bright in the bridge, but they're perfect in the neck: clean and no mud. Loud and clear, with the mids and lows pulled back. I have a Stag Mag and in the neck of a Strat, it was just terrible. I couldn't ever get a decent sound out of it and the staggered poles really screw up your string volume balance.
