Are Duncan single coils wax potted?

Hey guys, which Duncan single coil models are wax potted, and which aren't? I couldn't find anything on the main page about it. Thanks.

Interesting...what's the theory behind that? Why is it most humbuckers are potted, but none of the single coils are?

because there isnt alot to become microphonic on a singlecoil.

Can someone else confirm that Duncan single-coil pickups are not wax-potted? I have no reason to doubt beandip, I just want someone else to confirm it. Thanks.

I don't know off hand, but I don't buy that at all, the ants may not be, but I thought the regular series was. I've heard singles that weren't potted squeal, so I don't buy that at all. Evan, what's the answer here?

i dont know for sure, but i would assume that most duncans are potted, i know the buckers are and i think that the singles are as well

I asked Evan about this to get a definite answer...all Duncan single coil models are wax potted.

Yes there is, as long as it vibrates, it has the potential to become a microphonic problem on a pickup... Or so I'm told...
