What Pickups are these??

Hello,

I'm new here so apologies if I am posting this in the wrong forum but I am trying to figure out what pickups to buy. I am trying to achieve this tone: as played by Guitarist Tom Dumont of No Doubt on Perfect Day by Kelis.

In trying to figure out what he was likely using in 2000-2001 I found the following online:

Tom Dumont: guitar, keyboards
Hamer Standard guitar
Hamer Artist Korina guitar
Hamer Vector guitar
Takemine acoustic
Soldano SLO100 head
Fender 4×12 cabinets (2)

And

"What kind of guitars do you use?"

TD: I use Hamer guitars. Usually I'm playing what they call a Standard, which is kind of like a Gibson Explorer.

"What type of pickups?"
TD: Two humbucking pickups. They're the stock pickups, Seymour Duncan pickups. Two of those, one's a backup. And I've got another new Hamer called an Artist, Korina, it's like semi-hollow, it's really nice. And I've a Flying V by them that they call the Vector. That's it for this particular tour. I'll probably add an acoustic on the next [part] I use a Takamine.


Ok, so that begs the question, what Seymour Duncan pickups were stock in the Hamer Standard (what I think he used on that clip). Artist Korina, and Vector Guitars?

Any help in this would be appreciated.

Hamer has been using a Duncan 59 set on the Standards and Studios for a few years now, I would say that it is a Duncan 59 set. I went to the Hamer website (www.hamerguitars.com) and they are still using the 59's.

which one(s) had the JB/59 set? i think it looked a lot like a LP double cut?

That is the Hamer Studio/archtop or the Hamer Special/flattop, I think the Hamer Standard also used to use the JB/59 combo but they switched them both at the same time. The Vector also gets the 59's, it seems to be thier pickup of choice for the solidbodies.
