Thanks for responding, worked a long 16 hr day. Clueless as to what they are after searching high and low. When I get the chance I'll put the ohmeter to them out of curiosity. You all rock! Or jazz or whatever your likings...
Is this a real Seymour Duncan?

Looks like a Seth Lover neck, made in 2008. Does the DCR match a Seth neck?

Those look like JC Custom Pickups from Michigan, pretty recent.

Compare the signature on the back plate on this one

I was searching high and low. I did see those and assumed it was a random person selling a similar unknown set. I thank you for bringing it to my attention!
Because heres the wild part. The guitar these were in was shipped to me from PA. I live practically 10 mins outside of Midland. What are the odds? So I'll definitely give JC pickups a call and if they're open to the public maybe even take them in and confirm.

Allright so I contacted JCCustoms in Midland MI. And he lookes over the pics. Definitely not his pickups. The quest continues on. Thought we'd tracked it down. If I do find out what they are I'll update. So the next time this comes up hopefully it can be answered.

Wow. That's mind-blowing. So these signatures are completely different people?

No I'd agree they are the same people. Just not made by JC Customs of Midland, MI. Those are listed on reverb by another seller. Not JCCustoms. The person selling those must think they are JCCustoms but likley incorrect.

Reads about like a Seth neck. Looks like a Seth neck to me.
Hi all,
I bought this SH5 from Ebay about 8 months ago. I was told it had been taken out of a Tom Delonge starcaster to be replaced with a gibson dirty fingers (and I did receive it in a dirty fingers box).
I've had no issues with it running through my spark amp but got a distortion pedal this week that it just won't work with. I get a feedback sound like sticking a microphone up to its speaker, which I think means the pickup is microphonic? It doesn't do the same thing when used with the humbucker in my friends pacifica.
I took the pickup out to check for anything loose or issues with the wire and was wondering if this was fake or not as it's not got the 'Made in America' stamp on the baseplate.
Thanks for any advice

Looks legit, but their store just links to the general product pages with dealer listings. Doesn't look like SD is selling anything directly through their Amazon "Store".

thanks, this one seems to be sold by duncan but shipped from amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Seymour-Duncan-Alnico-Saptl-Lead/dp/B000BBECP2
but then they didn't get the product code right.
if i want to buy it here:
https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B000BBECP2/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&psc=1
that prize is tempting

Is this real? The sells claims they are OEM Duncans.
I've never seen Duncans with logo stickers on them, nor with "B" stamped into the base plate. I am used to seeing them with the Duncan logo stamped into the base plate. Then again, it has a 2021 serial number...maybe they were improvising due to post-covid meterial shortages?
Legit, or fake??
