Sticker on pickup's back - what does this stand for?

[joaocunha]

Hey, folks!

I've got an used Seymour Duncan Little '59 a while ago. There's a sticker on its back that says: "59B J"

Does that stand for "59 Bridge wounded by Maricella Juarez"?

Thanks for the help,

Correct. You definitely DO NOT receive a free BJ with your 59.

Thanks, Funkfingers!

I thought it was a neck model... at least it is a MJ one

Any guess on its production year?

This is the list:

Code Final Assembler Model(s)
A Raul Araiza Single Coils
B Leticia Bautista Single Coils
C Catalina Padilla Rails
D Debbie Nyquist Humbuckers
E Edward Madrigal Humbuckers
G Gloria Ocompo Humbuckers
J Maricella Juarez-83' on HB-SC-STK-RAILS
J Janice Salazar-till 83' Stacks
L Lidia Daniel Humbuckers
L Leticia Quintero-87'-90' Stacks & Rails
M Martha Cameron HB-SC
O Oti Mora Stacks & Rails
P Lupe Perez-86' on Rails
P Patty Vasquez-till 86' Stacks & Rails
R Connie Rocha Single Coils
V Joe Velez Single Coils
X Mai Xiong Stacks

This are my best guesses:

1. no backlogo, small tag without winder from late 70 up to ?
2. no backlogo, small tag with winder from ? to 1983
3. big backlogo without MiA, small tag with winder from at least 1983 to 1988
4. small backlogo with MiA, small tag with winder from 1988 to 2002
5. small backlogo with MiA, large tag with SN and Model from 2002 to ?
6. small backlogo with MiA, large tag with date from ? to now

When did the silk screen front logo come?

These specifically apply to humbuckers.

Heres all the info I've found. Thanks Hamerfan!

Wow! That's a pretty good bunch of information. Thanks a lot!

I think mine is a "2. no backlogo, small tag with winder from ? to 1983" one.

João! I didn't know you were on here! Did you get the pups yet? Email me and let me know.

Hey, bro! Good to see you here.

They haven't made their way here yet. The tracking shows they are coming to Brazil... they'll probably get inspected by customs and then released.

That's not an ordinary box of stuff :lmao:

I'll surely let you know as soon as I get them.

Gotcha. Just let me know when they finally get there.

I am very sorry to say, but my list does only apply to full size humbucker. These single coil size humbucker do never carry an backlogo. My best guess is before 2002.
Does anybody know when SD introduced the single coil sized hummies? I remember them since begin/mid 90ies.
