Re: Double cream Seth Lover set with aged covers from '1998
I currently have 14 double cream SD pickups and I've bought all of them here on the forum over the years, or back when you could get double cream as a Shop Floor Custom Order through a SD Dealer. So the new retail price 10+ years ago is the most I've paid for a DC pickup. Most were bought used and for the same or just a few bucks more than the same pup in zebra would cost used.
If I really needed or wanted a specific set in DC and found them in good shape used, I would probably pay up to about the retail price of a new set of the same pickups. I'm certainly not paying $150-$200 per pickup like some are asking. I'll buy 2 sets of zebra/reverse zebra and make 2 DC's and 2 blacks and sell the blacks off before I pay stupid money for a DC set.
If it was a custom shop set or something rare I might pay custom shop prices to get them, but that would have to be a killer special set.
