Genuine Seymor Duncan?

[Toki Wartooth]

Hi guys!
I need an advice. I'm looking to buy Washurn XMPRO2, and it says the pickups are Duncan USM Alnico-5 humbucker, so I wanted to ask are these genuine Seymour Duncan pickups?
Thanks and Cheers!

Yes... and no... the Duncan USM pickups are duncan designed pickups labeled for US music corp... So basically they are designed by duncan but made in asia.

Which is not to say that they are bad. I have Duncans and Duncan Designeds in various guitars and for the price the DD's are a steal.
