Also look at the destroyer in the photo above(I have that picture-poster hung in my bar),the pickup is a cream colored mighty mite distortion(ceramic magnet)pickup,its not a dimarzio super distortion because it doesnt have the small holes on the pickup like the dimarzio super distortion has.

Dano necks are horrible IMO. the tone of an old Dano with lipsticks is golden, but the necks are unplayable IMO.

Re: "Seymour Duncan Special Van halen pickup 1979"

My father in law has one of the re-issues of those Dano lipstick guitars. I agree they sound GREAT, but the necks are so-so. I think a little fretwork would help them a lot.

I recieved the Duncan custom SH-5 yesterday(I had to order it),installed it and it has that openness and the midrange cut that you hear on Van halen 1,its a great souding pickup for that sound.It drives hard,has that crunch also.I like it better then the custom custom SH-11 especially for the van halen 1 sound, the custom custom didnt have the cut or drive that the duncan custom SH-5 achieves,anyway I wanted to report back.

How does the Duncan 78 compare to the duncan custom SH-5 soundwise.

Re: "Seymour Duncan Special Van halen pickup 1979"

This question is alittle off topic,when your listening to Van halen 1(first album)do you hear delay or do you hear echo,im not talking about the plate reverb you hear.
