That said - I DID bookmark some cheap double creams for exactly that purpose (not DiMarzio) but a custom rewind bed.

To be honest, when I was younger and clueless, I did assume that any double-cream humbucker I saw was Dimarzio, so there’s definitely some basis for their claim. I’m lucky though, in that if I wanted double-cream by a different manufacturer, I could get Oil City and not have to worry about international shipping.

There was time when this made sense. Like, before 1982.
It is just pure foolishness now.

And wasn’t that DiMarzio’s case? They are superior pickups and they are identified by double cream - so a NEW guitar player might think double C = DMZ.
But to the replacement pickup community TODAY - almost every consumer knows Duncan, BareKnuckle, GFS, EMG, FRalin, and others.
So - moot pointOriginally posted by Bad City

Bare Knuckle are British and GFS are made by Artec, right?
Duncan don’t sell double cream, I’ve never seen any by EMG, and don’t know enough about Fralin.
Small-scale sales would be like people selling unofficial merchandise for bands and sports teams- the trademark holder will go after them where practical, but may not stop everything, so smaller US-based manufacturers might get away with it.

They can't do anything about pickups that aren't made here.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!
