    • No. Seymour is much taller.

        They read correct. To me, looks like the could be Duncan bits, but modified/assembled from various disassmbled pickups, not a single unit from the Duncan factory, and the baseplate on one of them doesn't look like a real Duncan, so might not even be Duncan parts - could be fake bobbins that read the right resistance put onto a Duncan-stamped baseplate.

        • Hi everyone,

          I’m new here, I got a new guitar and in the bridge position it has a stacked humbucker. I can see it’s a SD but I don’t really know wich model it is. I measured it at the output jack and it reads 18.8 and sometimes even 19 I don’t think it’s very accurate because I tested in another guitar and it’s also reading slightly less than what that humbucker was when I measured it through the wires before I installed it so I think this SD has also a little higher output than what it’s reading. Can you help me identifying it?

          Thank you.

          • Reads like an STK-S9b Hot Stack Plus bridge. Label is gone, so hard to know for sure.

            • That’s what I thought too until I saw pictures of the back of the pickup and the STK-S9b looks different. So I checked for more options according to output impedance and it could also be a stacked classic bridge? Or do the back of the pickups vary?

              • thats the old school stack design, so not a stack + model. has pole pieces rather than a bar so its not the stks2. not hot enough to be a yjm stack. its a stks1b, original classic stack bridge model

                  • Hello!

                    First post here needing some advice from one of you guitar gear wizards.

                    I am selling an Epiphone LPC that I have owned for around 4 years. Someone contacted me via the marketplace post to inform me that it was a fake! (I had no idea that they even faked Epiphones), its loaded with Seymour Duncan Invaders (A big selling point for the guitar before knowing it was fake) and I want to see if they are real.

                    I have looked at posts identifying fakes, and as far as I can see they look correct? (But then again I was fooled by an Epiphoney and don't want to trust my own opinion, especially since I am selling the guitar and want to make sure my ad is clear)

                    Hopefully someone here can give me some advice! I will attach photos of the pickups.​

                    • Hi!

                      My first post here, good thread to clarify fakes for not experts like me. I appreciate this initiative.

                      So I will show you all my Seymour Duncan pickups. I have doubts with two of them because are the most copied (SH2-N and SH4) and have bought recently in a guitar forum from my country, Spain. What do you think?

                      One of the others I don't know which model is, came in a second hand bought Fender Stratocaster MIJ E series, and has an old paper with "BC" inscription. Maybe someone can help to clear up the model, I should post it in the appropriate thread.

                      Thanks folks!!
