Is this a real Seymour Duncan?

[Motherfuzzer]

the stack with rod pole pieces is most likely an old classic stack. the stack with the bar is an old hot stack, and as you said the other is a pgb. you could mount the pgb direct if you use the right screws

Thanks Jeremy

Hi. What do you think of it? I'm confused by the font on the sticker

 

[beaubrummels]

Welcome to the forum.

Looks right to me. My 2012 / earlier pickups have that typewriter Courier font. My 2016 / later pickups have more of a Times Roman font. I don't know what year they changed it. Everything else looks legit also. The baseplate, screws and solder on the cover are just like my gold SH-14.

Good to go!

Looks real, but used, to me (someone extended the lead). What about it makes you suspect it's a fake?

It doesn't look extended to me, just someone used heat-shrink on the end when they installed it. Definitely "used." (Or is that pre-owned?")

Obviously, at that price, we have to use our judgement and realize they probably are not real. This goes for any listing online. If it is way below market value, stay away.

Looking for some ID help, please

I was told this was a SD AL2 PAF neck pickup. No markings other than “N” front or back.

 

[skydog]

Reads 7.3

That brass baseplate doesn't strike me as being anything from Seymour Duncan. :dunno:

 

[beaubrummels]

It's a Chinese-made neck pickup, that apparently reads 7.3. Duncan doesn't use blank brass rounded baseplates. At least there are screw poles on one coil. The knock-offs used to only have all slugs.

 

[skydog]

Thanks, guys. Suspicions confirmed.

not a duncan anything, cheap overseas made pup as others said

 

[Mincer]

Just a reminder, there is a thread here for any suspicious pickups you may buy (and hopefully didn't buy yet).

Yep, bad news: No Duncan in the neck
Good news: The single coil is a USA Fender American Standard Alnico V middle pickup

Hello everyone.
Is it real or fake?

Yes, it was the stock pickup from factory in what was originally a SSS guitar. The bridge, which was supposed to be a SH-11 was actually a SH-5, which is ceramic, not A2 as I was told.

Can't say I've ever seen a Duncan tele or other Fender type with the logo on the flatwork, but there might be a model I'm not familiar with. That is the old logo for Duncan. My first reaction is it's not a Duncan, unless it's an old model I haven't seen before.
