  • Need Help Identifying old SD Pickup

    Anyone got an idea what this pickup could be?

    It doesn't have a label or serial number or whatever.

    The DCR measures at 14.08K.
    Closest production model to 14.08K is the Duncan Custom (SH-5) at 14.10K.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Despite the missing label, this is definitely "modern" production (i.e. mid-90s to current). DCR suggests it's from the "Custom" family.

    Can you see the magnet? If it's gray and somewhat dull like graphite, then it's ceramic and that would make it an SH-5 Custom. If it's shiny silver (metallic looking), it's Alnico and that would be a Custom Custom or Custom 5. If it's Alnico, you will find a blue or black line on the actual magnet that can help identify which type (A2 or A5)

      Magnet looks dull from what I can see. It's also wax-potted.
