I'm not sure where to ask this question... but are these legit?

[omni 1]

These are shipped from China. I would hate for people to get ripped off for an inferior product. Thanks.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Alnico-5-G...rand=Unbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109

Are these legit??

No model sticker on the baseplate. Of course they're not legit.

Nope, all that seller's stuff is knockoffs. They even have fake Charvel USA neckplates lol.

Claims it's made in Korea oddly enough.

To be fair, they aren't described as Duncans. They might be legit pickups, but they ain't SDs.

...with a fake Seymour Duncan logo, though

Oh yeah, but it isn't even in the title of the auction.

The truth is, except with poorly done fakes like these (where it's easy to see inconsistencies) there's no way for a consumer to know if the pickups they buy are really SD pickups. There's no method of validating the product for a consumer.

It makes me nervous to even buy used pickups now.. SMH.. I knew they were not legit, but how many POS buy these and sell for the real deal.

Hello there!
Is that seller UplanderGuitars on eBay?
Just purchased Duncans from him....

https://www.ebay.com/sch/uplanderguitars/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Would like to know if I purchased fake pickups or not. Please help!

Since he deals mostly in pulls, it's more about the guitar they came out of than the seller in this case.

Odds are you're fine. If you share a link to the pickups you bought, we might be able to give you a more definitive answer

It is always best to ask before you buy.

It is always best to ask before you buy.

Definitely will do next time around!
Glad to be back to the Seymour Duncan camp!
