Yes, looks like OEM most likely, but certainly legitimate on that one

Is this a real Seymour Duncan?

Hello, first time posting here (after a 2 months long fight with the registration system), I would like to ask if this pickup is real or not.
I ordered it from this seller: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...002807706341.6 but not from aliexpress, I ordered through our local shopping site (same seller I believe)
Thank you in advance.

I'm going to be honest...if that is the seller you purchased from, then there's a 95% chance your pickup is counterfeit, maybe higher.
Are those actual pictures you took of the product you received or are those the seller's listing photos?
What scares me is that this is the most accurate potential counterfeit I've ever come across. I want to believe it's real, but seeing that the seller's entire inventory consists of counterfeit pickups and knowing you probably paid 50% of what that pickup would normally sell for new, I have to lean toward being counterfeit.
You guys, if true, this is next level forgery!
I can't even begin to explain how important it is to PURCHASE YOUR SEYMOUR DUNCAN PICKUPS FROM AUTHORIZED DEALERS!!!

I already know that there's a high chance that it might be a fake one... but I wanted to try out how bad could it be. Thanks for the comment.

Still, I think there might be value in getting my hands on one of these to inspect more closely. Maybe I can uncover a more reliable way to tell them apart from the real thing.

Maybe someone here with a definite fake can send you one for testing.Administrator of the SDUGF
