Duncans in Hamers?

[big_black]

I just recieved a supposed Duncan Custom P-90 that was said to have come out of a Hamer USA. There is no logo on the back, the sticker says "3B" and the type looks different from the Vintage neck I have here. I would think if it was truly a Duncan it would have a logo on the baseplate at the very least...there is not. Does anyone have any experience with Duncan P-90s sold with other Mfg. guitars? Is this possibly a Duncan Designed (which I feel is misleading to call it a "Duncan")? I certainly hope not. $30 for a Designed?

You have a real Seymour Duncan P-90 Custom I believe. It's a stock model. My Hamer Gold Top came with one. Great pickup. Especially nice, IMO, for ZZ Top style boogie and blues. Lew

Thanks for the reassurance Lew. All of the stock humbucker I've seen had the regular Duncan baseplates, I wonder why the P-90s don't?
