seymour duncan ssl-5 is it fake ?

[Sqpalu67]

hi i have just bought a seymour duncan duncan ssl-5 and it does not have beveled edges and every image i can find on line shows them to have beveled edges. i hope its the real thing and i know sometimes different types are made in some years

I've never seen a Seymour Duncan single coil with that kind of baseplate, sticker or hookup wire. Other guys on here might be more familiar with recent SSL-5s than I am. But Duncan could lookup the serial number and tell you for sure 100%.

the ssl5 has the oval flatwork like that and uses poly coated wire. at first glance, it looks ok?

That looks fine to me. The SSL-6 that I've got definitely doesn't have beveled edges and has wires and a baseplate that looks just like that. If it's a fake, it's a pretty good one.

Yup, legit...no worries there

where can i look for the serial numbers of the seimour duncan?
I bought in a serious shop, Thomann.de, the largest music department in Europe
thank you all

Yep, checks out. Several of the hotter Strat pups SD makes like the SSL 3, 5 and QP have this kind of baseplate and wires on either side.

You can contact SD directly. Also, you should be fine ordering from Thomann.

Like we said already, that pickup is fine. Play it and enjoy!

You can try generalproductinfo@seymourduncan.com to see if the serial reveals anything interesting.

Since I bought from Thomann, I thought I am calm, but I had never seen pu seymour D. like this, with a rectangular base:
