Pickup identification

[Stringmachine]

Hi there!

I just got hold of a Ibanez Paul Gilbert model guitar, with Seymour Duncans in it.
I checked the back of the pickups to find out which models they were, and the neck pickup is a '59.
But the bridge pickup only had a sticker that said "DC" on it.

Any idea what it is?

I love the sound and would like to know...

quite likely a Duncan Custom (SH5)

It's the District of Columbia model. It costs 10 Trillion dollars and sounds real good but doesn't work when you need it to.

Or it's a Custom................

And blows most of your money on crack cocaine.

Oh man! I hope it is the District of Columbia model, then...

ROFL!!!! Boy, Robert's been tossing out some zingers lately.

Those PGM's are sweet guitars. About the only Ibby I like, and there's only a couple out of the whole line I do like. IMO, DiMarzios would be much better suited in that guitar. Not because that is what it came with (either PAF Pro's or Tone Zone/Humbucker from Hell), but because DiMarzio's work better in basswood than Duncans, IME/IMO anyway.

Side note on the current "DC" pickup, it will not bail you out if you suddenly start playing really badly and take the band's performance down with you...LOL.
