Are they authentic? They are bought at thomann

I will let someone else jump in, but the labels look a little off to me, especially since NECK is in all caps and Bridge is sentence case.

D. Homs?

D. Homs?

I was wondering about that myself. Plus, the font looks off.

Brass baseplates with rounded tabs? Absolutely not.

You've been duped! Definitely not Duncans or Phat Cats

This video mentions "D.Homs pickups" in the description and says they are from Donghong Musical Instruments, a Chinese company from what I can tell

Nope

Gotta love the name. Even if not the pups.

I will always ask threads like these go here so we can establish some sort of database.

Thomann is a legit company, I don't see them selling fake Duncans. I bet someone bought the Phat Cats and then returned them after swapping the cheaper pickups in the package. I bet if you call Thomann they will make you whole.

That was gonna be my guess. I am sure Thomann didn't intentionally try to deceive you. But I bet they will make it right. If they were bought on Reverb or Ebay (or other private sale), I'd be more upset.

I never had any issues when dealing with Thomann. I've read that they have a good return policy, if you are not satisfied with the product you ordered. I bet the case is as was written by Securb.
