Early Duncan Holdsworth Humbuckers

[donbarzini]

Does anyone have an early 80's Duncan Holdsworth? Were they always wound in the 16k+ range or were the older ones wound in the 8K range? I'm finding a lot of different info on what he used early on, some say a wind like a 59n with two rows of screws. Thanks for any info.

Always high output and "mirrored" coils. The pickups used by AH immediately prior to Duncans were probably the "surplus" HBs removed from his 3PU Gibson SG Customs.

Can't speak for the old ones, but the Holdsworth humbuckers I'm familiar with are basically a JB with double rows of screws.
