    Default Unknown pickup please help

    I have an ibanez RG 270 DX I bought used and this seymour Duncan came in the Bridge position. I doubt it came stock with the guitar And its is almost identical to the Blues Saraceno model which is pictured below.

    Mine looks like it except flat black. Im pretty sure its also discontinued, mabey mabey not. Please help, i really like it and want another or the clossest thing. What model is it?

    its works well with high gain and is smooth but with enough definition, not muddy at all

    It's either a Parallel Axis Blues Saraceno model Trembuck, a Parallel Axis Distortion Trembucker, or a Parallel Axis Original Trembucker.

    Look at the baseplate and tell us what it says, then we'll be able to help you out and give you a definitive answer.

    It's a Parallel Axis Trembucker of some sort, probably the PATB1, which is a great pickup. You'll have to unscrew the mounting ring and take a look at the label on the bottom of the pickup to be sure.
