Now.... The details:

Pickup name: Duncan "TYRANNOTITAN" (the largest carnivorous dinosaur known, even bigger than T-Rex!)... I may order more and just refer to it's name!

Pickup style: Standard SH spaced, BLACK standard bobbins (no cover) with small Seymour Duncan Logo of the Sh8, 4 conductor, standard short legs for bridge humbucker
Pickup output: Same as an Sh6, or as close too
Pickup poles: 12 screws, like that of a Gibson Dirty Finger.
Magnet type: Single Thick 5mm Ceramic, same as Sh6 (OR MJ may decide triple ceramic mag)
DC resistance: same or similar as SH6, really whatever MJ prefers with whatever wire gauge she chooses
Resonant Peak: same or similar as SH6
Pickup EQ/SOUND: Same EQ curve as Sh6: B:5 / M:8 / T:9 but it must have more ROAR in mids, faster tighter tracking; Midrange Roar/growl anything like the sh5 or sh8 or PA TB2(Gibson 500T and BareKnuckles Ceramic Nailbomb also have lots of growl/roar) beacuse the Sh6 standard mids are a bit too smooth for me. Mids need to me fast tracking too - what ever MJ thinks is best for an awesome Thrash Metal sound into a Marshall, like Slayer type Thrash. Get Keith Merrow to give a final tick of approval :) :) :)
Pickup dynamics: Same or similar as Sh6



I AM SOOOO SALIVATING RIGHT NOW!!!! I NEARLY ordered BKP Cermamic Nailbomb, and also about to buy another Sh6 DD, but I thought nah... Stuff it, you've procratesnated long enough.... TAKE THE PLUNGE!!!!!

Once delivered and installed, I gotta hear how this turns out! Sounds awesome!

So, six weeks of pacing up and down. :D

I certainly will. Compare it to the SH6. Still thinking about a BKP ceramic Nailbomb, but the same money is a custom shop duncan, so what the hell eh?

Yup, MJ said to me "Thanks for the order I will make you a great pickup

MJ"

So I await in utter suspense. I have had custom made guitars since 1995, had my Marshalls customized for more stabilty since about 2005, so my first custom pickup should be very, very interesting
 
Re: IT'S DONE! My custom shop by MJ has been ordered!

I got my custom shop seymour duncan sh6 'Tyrannotitan' distortion humbucker. Its the first pickup ever that I've had to stop myself playing just to go to sleep! Sound like an sh6 without a wet blanket over it. Did a sound demo comparison last night, to put on youtube soon
 
Re: IT'S DONE! My custom shop by MJ has been ordered!

iiiiiiinteresting...looking forward to hearing that!
 
Re: IT'S DONE! My custom shop by MJ has been ordered!

I've read on hear that the DD8 has many of the qualities you posted above.

Can anyone confirm?




And I'm excited to hear the clip, too!

Congrats on your custom shop bucker. Personally, I never found the DD to be remotely muffled or muddy in any of the guitars I've tried or against any other pickup, including Dimebucker. In fact, it had the opposite effect, which is why I decided to try something else.
