Hey... Last night i was playing my 76 Les paul Deluxe that i have changed the pick ups in a few times now... Right now it has a Duncan vintage style Mini in the neck and a full sized JB Trembucker in the bridge..... odd for an LP Deluxe i know.... The thing was at the time i had been looking for a more meaty bridge tone and got lucky oneday when i found an oddball Duncan pickup used... They were said to be JB Trembuckers that came out of higher priced Cort strats.... i can still grab a bunch of Duncan single coils off the same place from the Cort guitars....

This Duncan has the SEYMOUR DUNCAN in White on the bobbin, and looks like a standard JB Trembucker except for one thing. The base plate that the pickup is mounted on is slightly skinnier or more Narrow, then a normal full sized humbucker and the little bottom wings that you mount the screws to look like Schaller style with 3 screw holes each side...

Is this a real USA Duncan or is it a imported copy made for Cort? Either way it is extremely cool as it just fits in the LP Deluxe P90/Mini humbucker rout without any mods... The pickup had been drilled out so it could be screwed straight into the wood, but i use the LP Deluxes threaded inserts with cut shorter Humbucker Screws and some foam under the PU for a spring...

Works amazingly! Wish i had bought more of these humbuckers before they all sold...
