Whole Lotta Humbucker Pickups - Genuine or not???

[Hobgoblin]

Hi,
Could some one on here tell me if these humbuckers Ive recently bought are genuine or not?
They have no serial numbers and they dont have seymour duncan printed on the plastic. All they have is an orange sticker on each one stating :

SWD CUSTOM SHOP and SWD CUSTOM SHOP
WL HB BRIDGE WL HB NECK







Any help would be greatly appreciated

I would think that they'd have the SD logo base plate. However, I don't have a set so I really don't know.

It's a CUSTOM SHOP model, not a production model. It doesn't necessarily have to have the logo'ed baseplate.

I think they're legit.

HTH,

Hi Hobgoblin,

They look genuine to me. I think they're one of the early sets from when they were sold as a "UK exclusive". I have a set I got direct from Seymour Duncan's UK distributor and mine look like this.....




It looks as if yours have had covers added/removed at some point - messy solder blobs on the sides of the baseplates. Doesn't look like the work of the SD Custom Shop!

But as long as they work - relax and enjoy

That's good info to know. Thanks!

since the pickups they are meant to replicate wouldn't have had the SD stamp back in those days, maybe it's a nod to that?

I have some custom shop antiquities with the same label. Looks right to me.

Thanks, that's put my mind at ease, thought I may have been fiddled for a moment there
