Hi,
i have a nickel cover JBJ bridge position from '80 and it iwas almost never used 'cause it is still on a old "weird synth guitar" aka Roland G-707 that i play 2 hours every year... A pro guitar technician (he works for high ranking professional musicians only) told me that the bridge nickel cover version is ultra rare, impossible to find for sale, and looking on ebay or other stuffs, i've never seen another one.

What could be the value/right price today?

thanks for your help

a new jb with a nickel cover is $90 or so. some people like the old ones better but its worth what you can get for it

They aren't super rare. I have a few at the moment, have had more and sold a few.

Yeah, really it's like anything else, it's value is whatever somebody will pay for it? They're not as rare as you would think & unless you can find someone who's a Duncan aficionado & collects older pickups you probably won't get much more for it than any other used JB with a cover? Realistically $60-$80 would be my guess? If Seymour wound it himself & you had a way of proving it then perhaps you could get a couple hundred bucks for it to the right buyer? Although it is a cool piece of Duncan history @ the end of the day it's still just a JB?

You can buy them new all day long with a nickel cover, that tech is mistaken. Now the fact it's old and wound by MJ would make it worth a few bucks more than a regular used one to the right people, but it's not like a lottery win or anything. I'd also check the bobbin colors because if it's double cream that would be worth more than a nickel cover alone.
