I wonder if a Duncan Distortion is the same as the JB with a big ceramic magnet? (or if a Distortion with A-5 is the same as a JB)

DD and A-5 = JB SH-4?

I wonder if anyone tried this?

So i don't need to buy a jeff Beck and can simply swap the magnet of the distortion! I have three! of them!

I thought that SD maybe just took a JB and put in a big ceramic mag and so the DD was invented!

You mean, maybe because the JB has 16.4 and the DD has 16.6 Kohm? Hmm, the resonant peak is the same, almost the output, i will give it a try.
Maybe i could make a '59/DD hybrid, which could be a '59/JB Hybrid, because the A-5.
Maybe that would be the solution for my problem ;-)

I still have a 7-string JB, so i could compare it. But i noticed, that this model has more DC resistance (19-20 K!) than usual. But, it's clear that with the same windings, more wire lenght is needed...
I just thought i could save my money and modify one DD instead buying a new JB. i have too much DD's... the second was a very good offer... 100 DM which is around 50€!! The third DD was in a guitar (the Gibson Explorer, which i named here sometimes) which i won. I need a more warm tone for the Gibson.

Yeah, it's that what i'm thinking about in the last days...
I tried a CC with an Ceramic mag and it was a little too dark...
I wonder if the tone is really identical with the Custom. The CC has a bit more windings...
Anyone here ever tried a 59/JB Hybrid?
