Is this a real Seymour Duncan Bridge Hot Rail for a Tele?

[rokluvr]

They said it was old, tho, and I once bought an old SD Hot Rails Strat bridge pickup that didn’t have the SD logo on it, and I was assured that it was a genuine SD Hot Rail bridge pickup.

That looks more like a joe barden or bill lawrence pickup than any Duncan. I had a hot rails telecaster pickup in the late 90’s and it had the bobbin shape like the current models. The output looks close to a hot rails though. Maybe the very early ones had that look, but I really doubt it.

Thanks for the info, allstarrme.

Not a Bill Lawrence or Barden and definitely not a Duncan!

No it isn't a hotrails for telecaster.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

It is a shame that these things can be sold so misrepresented like that. I always suggest the research first- the guys on this forum really are great with authenticating and history.

I agree, Mincer.

I messaged ArkansasMusicworks and I asked them how they knew it was an SD since there is no logo on the pickup, and they said it was a Seymour Duncan because of the baseplate and the colors of the wires.

I’ve seen a lot of cheap pickups with those same color wires, tho.

Funny, the baseplate doesn't look like a Duncan.

I have an $11 "Hot Rails" clone that has those same colors. And, they did a much better job of duplicating the baseplate. It looks just like a Duncan.

I like the look of them much better than the fake “Seymour Duncan.”
