This is my first post to this forum. Just trying to gather a little info on a pickup I own. I recently removed a Seymour Duncan humbucker from the bridge position of my '75 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. I bought the guitar used in 2000 from a local guitar shop and the pickup had been installed by the previous owner. I removed it because, after seven years of use, I decided I wanted to try something a little less abrasive and with more of a "vintage vibe," or whatever, as this particular pickup seems to be extremely hot, with a strong emphasis on highs. Now that I've removed it, I'm having a hard time identifying it. I don't see any info printed or stamped on the pickup indicating what model it is. The only thing I do see is a small sticker that says "DDL." An employee at the store where I purchased the guitar seemed to think it was a Pearly Gates, but that was solely based on his reasoning of "well, a lot of Les Pauls were fitted with Pearly Gates throughout the 1980's." Not exactly helpful, haha.
Can anyone help me identify this pickup? Any traits that are unique to certain SD humbuckers that might help me narrow it down? I would like to sell it now that it isn't being used, but it would be nice to know what I'm selling, haha.
Thanks!
