Interesting pups on my Parker PDF30

My Parker is a bottom of the line model and pretty well made for a $300 guitar (got it for $200 NOS). Tuners kinds wonky so luckily I have some Sperzel Loks to replace em with. I found the pups pretty darn good sounding on my NOS Vox VT40+ (with an German RFT 12ax7 in it). Parker is known to use SDs on their MIA model and for some import models the SD USMs. Mine is just plain no name so I wrote to Parker and asked what are they?

They're made by Duncan they said. I thought Cmon!

So when I did a set up I pulled the pups to get the IDs.

neck -ptp 6005 lp-blk-f-1p
bridge -ptp 6006 lp-blk-r-1p

Anyone recognize these? Thanks. :)

Every reference I've ever seen says they're imported Duncan USMs - basically "Duncan Designed". And IMO they're very good pickups. Many online ads list them this way with no lettering on the pups in the pic, so I'd assume that's what you have.

So yeah - designed by Duncan, but not made by them.

Yes, I am aware that they are probably Chinese made. My guitar is an Indonesian made model. I should've had pics when I had them out because it'd show how well made they are. Nothing sloppy about them.

If they sound great, then win win WIN. I am not sure what they used on those models, but the ones I tried sounded great.
