Pickup trade-off

metlking

Well-known member
I'm cleaning out my parts drawer! I have come to the conclusion I'm perfectly happy with a Duncan Distortion in the bridge and a 59 or Alnico II in the neck. Those are the only trades I'm looking for at the moment. Double black, Double cream, Double white, Zebra (black and cream) or Chrome covered are exceptable. Looking to trade within the US48 only...sorry!

Pearly Gates (neck) Zebra (black and cream) Got it off a forum member some time ago, can't remember who! 11 inches of lead. Reads 7.32ohms on my Fluke meter. GONE!


Jazz (neck) Reverse Zebra (black and cream) Got it in trade off andrizzle a few months ago. 12 inches of lead. reads 7.55ohms on my Fluke meter. GONE!

Duncan Distortion (neck) Double black. Bought used as a set off Ebay. 10 inches of lead. Reads 12.90ohms on my Fluke meter.

Duncan Custom Zebra (black and cream) Bought off SchecMan last fall. 7 inches of lead. Reads 13.90ohms on my Fluke meter.

Dimarzio DLX Plus I bought this 10 or so years ago, stuck it in my Les Paul Deluxe and decided once and for all I'll only use Duncans! It's cream and fits in a P-90 cavity or a mini-humbucker mounted the way Gibson did on the Deluxe's. 13 inches of lead. Reads 17.50ohms on my Fluke meter. Sounds like the Super Distortion to me.

Your pickups must be in similar good condition unmolested or tampered with. Only looking for Duncan Distortion bridge pickups and 59 or Alnico II neck pickups. I'd consider a Jazz bridge too.........Hmmm, P-rails neck as well!

Re: Pickup trade-off

Interested in a set of 59's?

I'd be interested in the Custom and the PG.

...assuming the Custom is for the bridge.

Both 59's are in black.

Re: Pickup trade-off

The Aph-1 bridge is so close in output to the neck maybe you could use a bridge APH-1 in the neck instead if you don't find a APH-1 neck, depending on how hot your bridge pickup is going to be?
Thats actually waht I'll be doing.

I don't have a use for the 59 bridge but the PGn is up for trade for your 59n! I'll send the Custom along with it for $50. The Custom is for the bridge, I believe all Customs are?!?


PM sent about a 59 neck trade for the zebra jazz.

PM returned!

That would probably work, I had the Custom I have for trade in the neck of my PRS for a year or more with no real issue, though it was a little hot!

No way, I want to see a pic of that. For teh time being, I am calling BS.

I am sorry to clog up your thread metlking. Consider it a friendly bump.

No problem, thanks for the bump!
I'm surprised I haven't traded these off yet. No ones buying anything these days with the cost of living climbing daily, I thought trades would still be possible!

The Jazz has been traded....I will sell the remaining pickups for $50 each-shipped and paypaled in the US48.
