I've got a handfull of pickups to sell right now. Among them are a few hybrids. I just got wind of some pickups that I want, so I need to move a few of these. All prices include shipping. Pickups all have plenty of lead. I'll be leaving town tomorrow until Tueday night (23-26). I'll still have internet access but will not be able to take pics or ship until then. I'll take some pics when I get back on request. Please, ask any and all questions you like. I welcome them all.

Jazz neck - SOLD
59 bridge - black $45 (has black electrical tape instead of the regular bobbin tape which was damaged when the cover was taken off)
A2 59/Custom hybrid - SOLD
A5 59/Distortion hybrid - zebra $65
A5 59/Custom trembucker hybrid - black $65

Travis, could you give me an idea of what the 59/Custom a2 hybrid sounds like?
 
Re: Duncans FS (production & hybrids)

Got an update on the A5 59/Custom trembucker. I had to pull it from the guitar to double check. It has black electrical tape around the bobbins. I just remembered that I had it installed in a Strat at one time and the pickguard was tight enough around the pickup that the original bobbin tape was damaged. Also, it had been direct mounted at one time so I had to solder some nuts around the mounting tabs so it could be used with rings. none of this affects the tone in any way. It is a great sounding pickup, very crunchy and articulate.

The A2 59/Custom hybrid is slightly smoother than the A5. If you're familar with the differences between the Custom 5-Custom/Custom and the 59/APH-1, then you'll get the differences between the A2 and A5 hybrids. The highs are tamed a little and the mids are pushed just slightly. Overall it is a smoother sounding pickup, but still able to snarl under high gain.

Really? No one is interested in any of the pickups, not even the hybrids? ArtieToo spliced them together for me and they sound great.

Actually, I don't need to sell all the pickups. Just one more and I've got the scratch together for the other pickups I want. So, I won't be disappointed if they don't sell.
 
Re: Duncans FS (production & hybrids)

A2 59/Custom hybrid sold. Other pickups still available. Ask any questions you like. I will be more than happy to answer any and all that I can.
 
Re: Duncans FS (production & hybrids)

Someone should snag that 59/DD hybrid. (Custom made by me. :))

Very sweet sounding pup.

Travis; I finally remembered to get off my butt and get to the PO with your MO. Its in the mail. Sorry for being so slow. Hope it helps.

is it best to use the customs coil toward the neck side for splitting purposes?
 
Re: Duncans FS (production & hybrids)

With those readings I assume this was made from neck models ArtieToo?

I used the slugs on the inside, as normal, regardless of what was made from what. So, one of us got the Custom coil on the inside, and one of us got the Custom coil on the outside. I can't remember which was which.
 
Re: Duncans FS (production & hybrids)

The Custom/Custom in zebra is a newer model with the SH11 label so I don't know who wound it.

I'm in the clear as far as raising the cash for the other pickups I'm buying (i'll post on those later on when they come in). So I don't need to sell any more of the pickups. However, if someone is still wanting any of the extras I've got laying around, I have no issues with selling them.

Artie, don't worry about the money order. Also, if you still wanted to do a magnet swap, I still have the Custom/Custom with the A2 I could swap for you. Let me know on that.
 
Re: Duncans FS (production & hybrids)

I'm taking the Custom/Custom off the market for now. I'm going to do a magnet swap and turn it into a Custom 5. If things change, I'll update the ad again.
