Does Blues only use Trembuckers?

I recently picked up a Saraceno custom Samick and have been told that the pick ups are Seymour Duncans. I just Have no idea which ones.

..Welcome to the SD Forum, Genieworx!
The pickups should have a model # on the back of them.

Due to a curiosity issue I have, I just checked the backs of the humbuckers. One has JBJ on it and the other has TB4J..Any ideas on what these might be? I figure the first one is probably a JB Model but Im a bit stumped on the other.

TB4 = Trembucker4 of a JB model(the 4 means it's a JB). ..The JBJ is the neck pickup, right? ..The TB4J should be in the bridge, correct? ..The last 'J' in JB(J) & TB4(J) is for the employee's name. ..So you have a JB/JB(trem-spaced) combo.

I have seen the light and it's cool. Many thanks for your help I can now get some sleep as this was bugging me. I will return however as the 57 in the Bridge of my paul seems a little weak.

Cheers

Blues also uses Seth Lover's but those are in his Custom EBMM Albert Lee guitar.

I too own a Saraceno Samick, but not a Custom job. Regular old Korean made TV 20, but the guitar rocks. I replaced the stock pups in it with two Blues Trembuckers, as that's what Blues used in his Samick's, and it sounds SWEET! The Blues Trembucker sounds really good in the neck, although most people tend to use it in the bridge.

Check out Blues' site to hear a new download. The site is under construction, but the download is there and worth it. It's a demo for Bronx Amps, and I'm betting he's using the AL with Seth Lover's. Very cool tones.
