Need help identifying humbucker

[tascbandit]

I have a Seymour Duncan humbucker for the longest time collecting dust & just put it up for sale on ebay. The sticker on the back is a bit worn out which reads D_J. The middle letter is partly worn out. To me it looks like DBJ. Is anybody remotely familiar with it?

If it is a D, then its mostly likely a distortion bridge. The J means it was wound by Maricela Juarez. whats the output reading? Is the screw coil towards the neck or bridge?

here's a chart for older pickups: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/faq/frequently-asked/everything-else/labels/labels/
It should read 16.6Kish if its a distortion.

Could be DCJ too. You better measure the resistance. If its 14k its a DCJ if its 16k its a DDJ.

I appreciate the response. I now know that it's a distortion (DDJ) thru a couple of replies. Thanks!

Thanks for getting back bud! I found out it's a DDJ/distortion. I bought it used quite a few years back & forgot I had it & it faded.
