Let's keep this thread as the be-all-end all of knowledge about legit SD pickups. While the best possible thing is to buy an authorized dealer, lots of independent sellers sell Duncans too, new and used.
Wanna buy something new or used and it looks fishy? Post it here. We'll discuss it. There are some seriously knowledgeable people here that know what a Seymour Duncan pickup should look like.
Obviously, when buying from an unknown online seller, new or used, you take a chance. While this thread is for discussing what is possibly legit or counterfeit, this thread and posters in it don't guarantee anything. And Seymour Duncan, the company, certainly doesn't, either.
When you buy something new or used online from an unauthorized dealer, you take a chance. This thread should help you prepare to make that decision. If the rest of their store looks shifty, don't take a chance on playing the 'How bad could it be?' game. It is best to ask here first, before you buy.
But don't go back to the seller and say 'this thread on the SDUGF said you are a liar!'
