Mystery DImarzio Pickup

[VanOsbourne]

I've had this for about 15 years.

It came out of a custom guitar.

I cannot remember the make.

The guitar was pretty old at the time.

That could make this over 25 years old?

Any Ideas?

Looks like it says DiMarzio, not SD. [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] What's the DP number say?

Re: Mystery SD Pickup

yeah yeah Dimarzio.

I just post a SD ad here, had it on the brain.

There is nothing else stamped on the pup.

Re: Mystery SD Pickup

Re: Mystery SD Pickup

Oh, it says "pickups". The U looked like a D to me and I couldn't read what it said before it. Actually, if it's that old, it may very well be a DP100 Super Distortion. Email the pic to DiMarzio and see if they can maybe help you.

Re: Mystery SD Pickup

Yup did that already Toe. I thought maybe there could be some insight here.

At worst its a PAF.

Re: Mystery SD Pickup

Have a repair tech hook it up to a meter,see what kindas Ks it's puttting out & compare that to the Dimarzio catalog,might help to pin-point it!!

Re: Mystery SD Pickup

It's probably a Early PAF only one set of screws a super distrotion would have two set's of screws.

Re: Mystery SD Pickup

Well the ohmmeter said 8.10

On Dimarzio's site the PAF is rated at 8.09

We have a winner.

Thanks for the help guys.
