What Seymour Duncan pickup is this?

Re: What Seymour Duncan pickup is this?

All my 59s, which are non-customs, have a logo on 'em.

You talking 'bout the logo on the coil, right?

'59 Trembuckers have the logo. The SH ones don't.

Even the official product description states "no logo".

HTH,

So....we are looking at a 59 bridge pickup, right?

HTH,

My 59s are all SHs and they come with logo. They are for necks and come as an OEM version. I wonder if OEM is any different from those sold aftermarket.

Hey, this might be stupid, but do you remember how you got that pickup? Do you remember taking it out of a guitar? If so we can google it and it's specs to see what it comes with. Did you buy it separately from someone? A gift? If you remember who maybe they know and you can ask them. Can I ask what leads yo to believe it's an sh-2?

The more and more I research the more and more I think it's a Pearly Gates. It has a logo that the 59 sh doesn't usually have, has a DC resistance surprisingly close to the bridge pickup version of the Pg, and has 4 conductor which a 59 doesn't. If we had the magnet type we could say for sure. If an A5 then I say the Jazz more so than the 59 because of the other pointers, if an A2 then that confirms it is a Pg.

OEMs would have logos, otherwise when the spec sheet says "Duncan 59 in the neck" the buyer goes "oh yeah? says who?"

It bother me that there's no sticker under the wax on the pickup in question.

Still, the meter reading could indicate 59. Test the wires from both coils to make sure it's not only reading half a Distortion.

I went through a phase where I bought a bunch of random guitar parts on my local Craigslist just to have in case. This was one of them. It came separate and that's pretty much all I remember from it.
