Duncan SH-2N with etching??

[JCallaway82]

Hey guys.

I was hoping someone has the experience to help me with this question. I just purchased a used SH-2N on Ebay and wanted to be sure it was the real thing. The little label on the back with the serial and what not indicates a sh-2n.

But I have never seen one until now and I notices it has like a laser etched "Seymour Duncan" in the bottom right hand corner of the pickup. All the google/ebay images I can find do not show this etching, the covers are just smooth. (unfortunately alot of the same stock images all over google/Ebay)


Anyone have the nickel covers with this?

And if so, does the SH-4N also have this etching. I would be kind of annoyed to have my neck pickup with the etching and the bridge without it. I prefer if they match...lol.


Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer!

that is a duncan OEM jazz neck model. the reason it has the seymour logo etched on the cover is that it was used stock on a new guitar OEM.
I am sure the covered JB has the same etching if it was a OEM covered JB.

Oh wow. Ok. Thanks for the insight!


Then the guy sold me the OEM pickup out of his guitar, the nickel is like a mirror and he claimed it was only in the guitar for 2 months. I believe him, it is in great shape.

I was just concerned when I first saw it, because all the other SH-2n's I have seen have a plain cover.

I appreciate the response.

Do you , by chance, know if that etching could be polished off? I have a dremel, some buffing pads and jeweler's rouge, and the stupidity to try!

That etching should come off with some elbow grease and a pad:fing2:
