    Default SD Custom shop pickup ID

    I know I posted this before but it has just arrived.

    Well I scored a Duncan Custom Shop HB that I'm trying to identify.
    It's twin black bobbin with logo and wax potted reading 14.1.
    The sticker underneath reads DGJ with the G being underscored
    and the lettering certainly looks factory.

    Hopefully Frank or Maricella can shed some light on this pickup.

    What does the lettering mean?
    What magnet and windings?

    Much appreciated!

    Will.

    are you sure it's a custom shop model? i thought the custom shop humbuckers had seymour's hand written signature on the base plate and the regular factory models had the SD logo impressed in?

    No, not always. I have seen custom shops with nothing on the baseplate, no stamp, no signature. I have seen the stamp by its self. It could be any combonation IIRC.


    What DGJ is, I dont have a clue.

    This is simply a misprint with the rubberstamp. It happens when you wiggle with the hand while pressing it on the paper.

    This is clearly a DCJ, a Duncan Custom SH-5 assembled by Maricela Juarez. The ohm reading matches fine with this.

    Thanks guys. Can anyone post a pic of the back of an SH-5 please?
    Cheers, Will.
