Old vs New

I'm looking to buy a custom and was wondering if it's better to buy a really old one or one thats brand new in package. Are pickups wound by MJ (DCJ) any better then a new one? Or is it just the same? If so, I rather get a brand new pickup.
 
Re: Old vs New

Same thing IMO, if it works then old vs new shouldn't really make a difference. After all a pickup doesn't have any moving parts and the custom has a ceramic magnet, these don't degauss under any kind of normal use/abuse.

That said many will say (and having one, I agree) that MJs pickups have something very special to them. It's like when the woman winds she adds a dash of magic in them.
Others though probably won't be able to tell the difference...

What DOES make a difference if you're in the US is the 21-days exchange policy.
If you buy a new pickup and for whatever reason isn't what you wanted you can return it in exchange of another similarly priced pickup.
If you're unsure of what you want AND live in the US then that'd probably be a good idea.
If not, like I said, same thing...
 
Re: Old vs New

Hard to tell, but i have a lot of the old one, which i bought via ebay. i tend to agree with KeeperOS, but i read about a guy who had new and old JB and was raving about the old ones.
