Double Creme Bobbins

[OlinMusic]

What do you think? does it make you think classy, sexy? Or 70s? or Dimarzio?

Opinions?

i love double cremes and i have them in a few guitars and i'll continue to use them as long as they fit the look of the guitar i'm going for.

I have them on my SG... correction they are on my SON's SG. I like them.

for people with (white) pickguards....

i love all white/cream pickups. i couldn't get the A2Ps in all-white.

[Reload in 5]

every time I see double cream I wonder what kind of dimarzios those are in his guitar, I mean, they gotta be dimarzios right ?

[Zhangliqun]

Depends on the shade of cream and the guitar they're in. I'm partial to zebras though.

[OlinMusic]

Yeah I think dimarzio / 70s
But DAMN IF I DON'T LIKE THAT RETRO LOOK - PRIEST to DI MEOLA!

Depends 100% on the guitar thje DC is going into.

[Mephis]

Zerb, would you put double cremes in this?

Sure you can...you can get them pink and green if you want to...no problem.

As for me, at the moment I own 12-14 Duncan pickups. About half of those are in guitars, and EVERY one of my pickups are double creme (well, except for the PATB-1 I have). I LOVE double cremes.

I like zebras myself better too. I always think Dimarzios when I see double creams. They look cool like jimmy page had them, double cream in the bridge, covered in the neck of a sunburst LP. Not a fan with say goldtop w/ double creams or black with double creams. Double creams look better with bursts than solid colors IMO. But I prefer the clean look of the covered best.

[Jeff_H]

I should have stated that most of my double creme are actually under nickle covers...but I can't stand the thought of a black bobbin...even under a cover.

DiMarzio won. I am not going in that direction with this post...but double creams remind me of one guitar:

The maple flametop Hamer Standard! As a young sprout, I would be totally guitar-porned-and-numbed by this Hamer Standard at the local guitar store. It was serial number 283 to 289 (popular V8 sizes at the time)...I can't remember exactly. I saw Cheap Trick on the "Heaven Tonight" tour (popped my "concert cherry" that year), and that obscenely expensive $1200 guitar ($1200...) stayed in behind that glass case for over 2 years.

Then one day, it was gone. !!!

Double Creams = Very Seventies, and in the Hamer Standard (sexy and cool). There is nothing wrong with that.

I'm going to stick two krispy kreme donuts on my guitar.

Yes

[JeffB]

But it depends on the guitar. They look great in some, horrid in others. It's gotta match/be aesthetically appealing for me.

the store clerk said i can't.

good choice.

[shredaholic]

I think "stupid-ass trademark"

[ErikH]

I like 'em. Like many others, it depends on the guitar. I got lucky putting the Brobucker (uncovered) in a black guard with a cream neck single in a natural colored Strat. It looks great. I wouldn't put one in an all white guard though, parchment maybe.

I'm pretty partial to zebra though. I like those better for me when it comes to the pickup look.

And Mephis, NO!!, actually HELL NO!!! Black like it is or zebra, but not double-cream. That's a perfect example of a guitar that they don't work well in.
