Nuno Bettencourt now using Duncans!

[fretburner]

Nuno's new N6 and N5 models now have Duncans in them. The former had a JB bridge pup and SSLs, the latter all SSLs. Cool

They just look ... odd, I guess.

I saw Nuno on the Duncan front page a few months ago, and they were saying he was going with a Custom/59n. I wonder if he went back to the JB?.....or uses several Duncan bridge models?

I like the way they look. They're better than the old model for sure.

Actually, Nuno's going to stick with his old (pre-SD) pickup in the humbucker bridge. The single coils are going to be the new Classic Stack Plus that is currently in beta test. A few of the folks on this board participated in the beta test, so they can speak to the tone of those pickups.

Look at the bridge Humbucker.
It's mounted with 4 instead 2 screws!
Looks like a mix of a strat and the old english Burns guitars from the 60's!
