Calling Riley: DA-59s p'ups for D'Angelico guitars

[Discharged]

If you scroll down a little bit, to the right side you'll find the "PRODUCT SPECS" button.

You push it down and it comes all the guitar's specs, and the following caught my eye:



Would you please be so kind to tell us what, if anything, differs from those "USA Seymour Duncan DA-59" pups to stock '59s?

Thanks in advance.

Yours very truly,

Hey Peter, sorry I missed this before -- the DA-59 is a tweaked SH-1 59 model made exclusively for D'Angelico. The wind has been modified according to their wishes, unfortunately that's all I can say about it for the time being.

Thank you very much indeed for getting back to me, Riley. Much appreciated!

Would it be possible for you to at least provide a DC reading of the set? I mean, unless it's considered "Proprietary info", that is.

Well?

Just scored a pair of these - gold covers, super clean, 4-wire

8.78 and 8.92 put in neck/bridge positions respectively though they aren't labelled for a position

They sound like 59's, just a bit more hair

Blast from the past! Riley works for Fender now, I think.

 

[Benjy_26]

8.7K for a neck PAF?

WOOF.

 

[Wattage]

These sound so good!

I put them in my korina Carlino Identity and I can't imagine changing them out. I'd been hemming and hawing over putting a '59 set in and these showed up at the shop so I figured why not? Fit the guitar to a tee

Nice. I bet the bridge is especially tasty.

Just out of curiosity, how much OEM work does Duncan do?

 

[Mincer]

Id think at least as much as retail, if not way more.

 

[ICTGoober]

So.... A LOT. What are Duncans sales figures for a year on average?

I know this, but it isn't for me to reveal.

So we'll check the latest press releases from NAMM or Musical Merchandise Review, right?

Sure, that's a good bet.

So the D'Angelico SD 59s are a little hotter than the regular SD 59s?

This is important to me as I have well over a dozen D'Angelico's with SD59s in them

I've never purchased the Seymour Duncan 59s from SD. Though I've purchased a lot from them, including:
Seth Lovers, Pearly Gates, Invaders, etc

Excellent information!

Any idea what the regular SD 59 specs are?
