On topic, I had in 1996 a Samick Blues Saraceno model which had Duncan Designed pickups which were fine for Jazz to Rock. I've also had plenty of Hamer Specials from the 90's with original Seymour Duncans. I remember swapping in a couple of different Dimarzio choices in that guitar to better judge the quality of the Duncan Designed pickups as I was suspect about them. I think if you can't get a useable tone out of the Duncan Designed pickups it's probably not the pickups fault but rather the amp. Seymour Duncan is a name you are paying a premium for, but other pickups made in Asia also work well. There is far more to getting a good sound than JUST weather you have Duncan Designed or Seymour Duncan pickups. Of course many on this board won't see it that way and insist on using Seymour Duncans and that's fine. For myself having been through more than half the Seymour Duncan catalogue of humbuckers in all manner of guitars I am even less convinced that having originals matters in the slightest. As always opinions are like *******s and I admit mine stinks. Just get in there with the Klennex cottonelles and all is well lol. Amps and speakers matter!!!
