Ordered my 3rd Seth Lover pickup. 4th Seymour Duncan in total. First was a 59 bridge. Next 2 were Seth Lover neck pickups. #1 is matched to the 59 bridge. #2 is currently paired with the stock no-name bridge pickup. That will be replaced with the Seth Lover bridge pickup I ordered from AMS last week. It should have been here by now but this weeks weather pushed delivery back until Monday, it appears.
Can't wait for it to get it here . I've also got a set of CDE orange drop 0.015uf caps to install at the same time. Currently, it has two 0.033uf caps in series on the neck as a test and see if 0.015uf was what it needed instead of the 0.022uf cap it had. And that's what it needed. So those will get replaced as well as the stock 0.047uf cap on the bridge pickup when I install the Seth. The neck initially had an 0.047uf cap, also but I swapped it, first with an 0.022uf and then with the 33s in series.
All polypropylene film caps. The CDE orange drops are 715P's and the 33's are essentially 715p orange drops but they're red instead of orange. Same polypropylene film construction. Looking forward to comparing the Seth bridge to the 59 in the other guitar. I almost ordered an Antiquity bridge pickup but went ahead and got a Seth. Might try Antiquities next time. I seem to like the Seth's over those in all of the tone comparisons I've heard, though. So I'll have to do more research before buying next time.
No real questions or anything. Just stoked to get this pickup. Thanks for letting me share

OK so I do have 1 question. I read somewherw that when these were made originally, Seth got a little money from each pickup sold. Is that still the case? Does his family still get money from each pickup sold? Thanks!
