How does a new pickup get created at Duncan?

Just wondering. Maybe nobody here really knows (except Evan and he's very busy). Does a team come up with it? Seymour or MJ?
 
Re: How does a new pickup get created at Duncan?

That's a great question. Sometimes pickup ideas come from market research (Hot Rails). Sometimes from artists (Dimebucker). Sometimes from the custom shop (Five-Two Series). Sometimes from guitar manufacturers (Phat Cat / Hamer). Sometimes from "friends of the family" (Tweak Fuzz). Sometimes from here (Custom 5).

If it's a good idea, we'll take develop it no matter where it comes from.

What the ... is that a pickup for a Chapman stick or something? Or did someone misinterpret the meaning of "12 string guitar"?

If the team from CSI: Santa Barbara analyzed that pickup, they'd find Seymour's DNA all over it...

Then it must be good. :wink:

You know . . . if you bought six of those, and layed them the long way . . . hmmm . . .

Is it just me, or does that thing have 13 polepieces?

Good call with the chapman stick guess, but don't those have specially designed pickups? Maybe a touch guitar (cross between a guitar and a stick)?
