You sure it's a Seymour Duncan, not Duncan Designed? I checked the sticker chart but the closest I'm seeing is MG, which is the StagMag.

Re: Pickup identification help needed!
Since the writing says MGB its pre 2001. The Stag Mags predecessor was The Mag with flush polepieces.
This one:
* Mid-70's through early 80's
SH-1n, SH-1b - The '59
SH-2n, SH-2b - The Jazz (made for Jeff Beck)
SH-3 - The Mag (later modified into the SH-3 Stag Mag)
SH-4 - The JB Model (made for Jeff Beck)
SH-5 - Duncan Custom
SH-6 - Duncan Distortion (later SH-6b Duncan Distortion bridge)
SH-7 - Seymourizer II (later SH-6n Duncan Distortion neck)

Re: Pickup identification help needed!
UPDATE: I still don't know what model the pickup is but I installed it in one of my partsocasters with two Texas Specials and it sounds really good. I'm going to give it a try at the gig tonite. BTW Gibson type wiring with wire on outside, no coil tapping.

Could be an early 59 or Pearly Gates, could be a Custom Shop.
"M-B" could mean Michael Bolton, Martin Barre, or Manny Bofanny.

Milton Berle? Anyway, UPDATE 2: The pickup has a good hard rock sound. I think it's some kind of '59, it's not as aggressive as my Pearly Gates +. By the wear it appears to be an older pickup, and there is no "Seymour Duncan" logo on the top, just the stamped one on the backplate. I like it, I just wish I knew what it was!

Looks like an old PAF, one set of screws and one set of flush polepieces.
