No. Seymour is much taller.
Is this a real Seymour Duncan?

They read correct. To me, looks like the could be Duncan bits, but modified/assembled from various disassmbled pickups, not a single unit from the Duncan factory, and the baseplate on one of them doesn't look like a real Duncan, so might not even be Duncan parts - could be fake bobbins that read the right resistance put onto a Duncan-stamped baseplate.

Hi everyone,
I’m new here, I got a new guitar and in the bridge position it has a stacked humbucker. I can see it’s a SD but I don’t really know wich model it is. I measured it at the output jack and it reads 18.8 and sometimes even 19 I don’t think it’s very accurate because I tested in another guitar and it’s also reading slightly less than what that humbucker was when I measured it through the wires before I installed it so I think this SD has also a little higher output than what it’s reading. Can you help me identifying it?
Thank you.

Reads like an STK-S9b Hot Stack Plus bridge. Label is gone, so hard to know for sure.

Hello!
First post here needing some advice from one of you guitar gear wizards.
I am selling an Epiphone LPC that I have owned for around 4 years. Someone contacted me via the marketplace post to inform me that it was a fake! (I had no idea that they even faked Epiphones), its loaded with Seymour Duncan Invaders (A big selling point for the guitar before knowing it was fake) and I want to see if they are real.
I have looked at posts identifying fakes, and as far as I can see they look correct? (But then again I was fooled by an Epiphoney and don't want to trust my own opinion, especially since I am selling the guitar and want to make sure my ad is clear)
Hopefully someone here can give me some advice! I will attach photos of the pickups.

Hi!
My first post here, good thread to clarify fakes for not experts like me. I appreciate this initiative.
So I will show you all my Seymour Duncan pickups. I have doubts with two of them because are the most copied (SH2-N and SH4) and have bought recently in a guitar forum from my country, Spain. What do you think?
One of the others I don't know which model is, came in a second hand bought Fender Stratocaster MIJ E series, and has an old paper with "BC" inscription. Maybe someone can help to clear up the model, I should post it in the appropriate thread.
Thanks folks!!

You're good to go. All of those appear to be authentic.

There's a ton of fakes on Ebay UK, like these ones. I've reported them to ebay as counterfeit but they rejected my report and the seller continues to sell their fake stuff. It's really galling to see feedback from people who've bought fake Seymour Duncans from them and are leaving good feedback thinking they got a good deal!

Thanks for the info! I will investigate about it.
Thanks a lot!!

Hello everyone,
I believe I got scammed but it sure seems an elaborate scam if I did. What do you think? I was browsing eBay looking for a good neck pickup to pair with my JB. I have a Pearly Gates Bridge model that I have in there now but was looking at something more traditional. I was getting very frustrated at the used pickups selling for the same or more than new ones. Then I saw a set. It was a JB trembucker and a Jazz for the neck (zebra which I didn’t want but was considering coving them anyway). It seemed like a reasonable price for a used set. So, I ordered it. Next thing I know I get an email that my Humbuckers had a tracking number and they were coming from China! Oops, I guess I didn’t read the page too well. To my eye everything looked OK but they were supposed to be used and the only “used” indicator is that the Jazz had been tapped for a larger screw. Which I know is possible if someone used a direct mount setup rather than ring mount. I started looking a bit closer and noticed the font on the front looked a little off and the last N in Duncan seemed a bit spaced on both. The Trembucker was reading 15.5k which is a bit low but possible. Seems weird to me that so much is correct to have messed up the part I think would be fairly easy to get right if it were a knock-off. Anyway, what do you think?

I kinda figured. I’m kinda impressed by the base plate. Thanks for the confirmation!

Greetings all. Ty for the addy.
My question is exactly the thread title here.
Got an 81 Standard not expecting to see these. They definitely look installed much later than the 80s. Not sure if someone pulled a fast one or did a huge favor. I've yet to try and crack them open, they have chrome covers. Nothing to I.d them on other then what you see written. Any insight and help is much appreciated!
