Hey everybody! I'm looking for some help in trying to figure out what Seymour Duncan's I have and from what time period. They are 2 zebra humbukers that seem to be maybe from the 80's just by the look of them? On the back of one is a JB-D (I'm not sure what the D stands for) and the other pickup has DC-M which I could find no information on. The pickups don't have the Seymour Duncan logo on the front which tells me they are older. Pulled them out of an old 70's les Paul. Any help identifying them and thier circa would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Re: Need help identifying my vintage Seymour Duncan's
If I'm not mistaken, first two letters indicate the model, the dash followed by letter tell you who wound it. I don't know who M and D code for; J codes for MJ.
DC-M = Duncan Custom; wound by M
JB-D = JB model; wound by D
Do you have a multimeter to check what the pickups read?
Again, I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe that this the way SD labelled their humbuckers in the 80's. I have a DC-J myself, which is a Duncan Custom wound by MJ.
Hopefully, someone will swing by and confirm the info.
