No ideal what pickups I have

[Bosw8r]

Hello follows,

I recently traded in a guitar.
It was upgraded with Semour duncan pickups.
I have no idea what type they are.
It is an HSS set allthough the humbucker (super weird thing) had diffrent string spacing.

Marking on the neck pickup VC95020
Marking on the middle pickup VC95010

Bridge humbucker has only 2 wires coming out and oddly enough a Bar magnet underneath between the 2coils. No marking on it whatsoever. Sounds killer and a bit hot

No photo of the bucker?
What is the DC reading of each pup?

The bridge humbucker does not appear to be a Duncan.

Nearly all humbuckers have a bar magnet under the coils in the middle.
That is the standard humbucker design dating back to the 1950s.

It isn't uncommon to have a bridge humbucker with wider string spacing, particularly on Strat type guitars.
This is usually called treolo spacing. EDIT: it's spelled tremolo spacing

Rex called it - that humbucker doesn't look anything like a Seymour Duncan. I'm not sure the others are Duncans either.

A quick Google on the number that's on the middle pickup sent me to a listing for a Yamaha RGX-821D on eBay. These appear to be some stock Japanese pickups made for Yamaha.

Somebody lied to you man . That sucks.

And come to think of it those singles do look a hell of a lot like the 2 Yamaha singles I used to have in my HSS Jackson. Not Duncans but they were great sounding pickups tho.

NOT Seymour Duncan p'ups.

Those are cheap ceramic p'ups of asian origin.

You're lucky that you like how they sound! :banana:

Sorry!

Definitely not a Duncan. The pickup leads look like something from Stew Mac.

Trust me, I know what I am talking about. I have 15 years of experience as a curator of 60-80 vintage Squiers, Gios, and cheap plywood asian imports for poser punk bands looking to make it big on YouTube.

So you had “no ideal” but then they “sound killer” so that makes them ideal pickups. Just not Duncan’s.

Are you implying you actually took these pickups apart ??? How are you sure nobody tampered with these just to make them LOOK like fake ?

Thnx for all the awnsers!
English is not my native language, so sorry for any grammar/spelling errors.

Sombody pointed out that they were stock yamaha pickups.
With that information a quick google search confirmed this!
Unfortunatly some previous owner has just put 'dumcan designed pickup covers on it!
The humbucker definatly is not standard on that pickup set! Im happy with it tho!
Thnx for all the help

Imitation cheapos - the latest trend in copycat parts.
Like the grey primer car at the strip, that looks like a junker but blows the wheels off all the fancier rides.
