    my quarter pounds have all come with cheese on them so far. Dunno about yours.

    fortunately some of mine have had more than one type of cheese at once. Those are the quarter pounds you spend your time searching for.

    No. Any colour you like as long as it's black vulcanised fibreboard.

    Out of focus!

    Seriously, though, once the QP idea gained popularity, it did get "borrowed". Schaller made something with a cream plastic bobbin that resembled the SD QP.

    I would not be surprised if SE Asian brands such as Powersound and (non-USA) Mighty Mite have produced similar looking PUs.

    Ah ok, that would explain the lack of info. Seller probably hopes someone like me with no great knowledge of single coils will assume it's a Duncan and bid something silly.

    Schaller, Rio Grande and Schecter all had pickups with 1/4 inch poles. I am sure others have also made pickups with the same poles.

    Ha ha! Well, I assumed it was hidden amongst the foam. The seller said they'd send me pics of the underside, but they haven't done it.

    And probably won't send them. Can't imagine that he'd poke a hole in the foam and feed the wire through it just to make the pic look neat and pretty. He didn't even bother to get a clear, in-focus shot. Sounds shady to me.
