  • Duncan Custom SH-5 Special Van halen pickup

    I wasnt going to post this on the other thread.(what year did the custom come out).I believe seymour knew that Ed used Mighty Mite distortion pickups(seymour wound those pickups mighty mite) and Dimarzio super distortion pickups that this was seymour's version of that type of pickup that he knew that Ed would like so seymour made that pickup and wanted to sell it as the van halen pickup.Ads in guitar player magazine for seymour duncan pickups date back to 79 and the Duncan custom was on the list of pickups that seymour made.

      I've lost it.... EVH has used a ton of different guitars and ton of different pickups. That said, multiple pickups will get you an EVH tone because he has had multiple tones via pickups, axes and amps.

        So, if the "Mighty Mite" pickups are the real deal EVH originals, then why aren't they mentioned more often and better sought after...or are they and I'm just missing something?

              I haf read an article years ago making an arguement that EVH's aggressive tone came from PAF styled pickups. I'll try to find it.

                    Nobody knows. Ed doesn't remember and if he does, we'll never know because no interviewer with access to him will ever ask something like that. Why continue this? It's like trying to "prove God".

                      all pittbull is saying in this thread is that the sh5 is the original eddie pup for sale to the public, but it got cut short due to possible legal issues and threats from eddie not that eddie actually used it.

                        It was seymour's version of what Eddie would like in a pickup because Ed did use mighty mite distortion pickup also dimarzio super distortion pickups,it makes alot of sents.The pickup was never released, but from seymour's describtion of the duncan custom sh-5 would make sents to Eds van halen 1 sound,if you understand what I mean.

                              And Seymour told you all of this, or this is something you pulled out of your ass? My guess would be the latter.
