Bought a Used Seymour Duncan JB: Is it fake?

[goei]

Hi guys,

I have bought myself a used TB4 couple weeks ago.
The label on the plate containing code:
First row: ROHS-IWK81
Second row: TB4-20070810

Is it genuine?
What does it means?

Please help me find out.
Thanks before..

Sounds like what you got is a Seymour Duncan JB Trembucker. The tb4 has the same characteristics of the JB pickup but with slightly wider pole spacing to accomodate Floyd Rose and other types of locking tremolo systems. That could be good or bad depending on the type of guitar you're installing it into, and more specifically what type of bridge setup your guitar has.

Yeah, looks like its the TB-4 manufactured 8/10/07 and the ROHS code is being used on all current Duncan pickups that I've noticed lately.

I installed it on my schecter. And the pole pieces fits right below the strings. I love how it sounds. The previous pickup was sh6 which i liked too, but I think this jb tone is what i've been looking for.
So, it means that my jb is genuine right? Thanks God

Thanks for all the responses guys

Nope...... Both my Strats have em. I converted after catching a Gary Hoey performance and his tone was smoking.....
