Duncan can also make you a double creme version of any of their pups in their shop, but they have to put covers on them. All you have to do is pull the cover off. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Newbie here. What's the history behind double creme's having to be covered?

The story I always heard was that the Seymour Duncan Custom Custom is a replica of the pickup Eddie used back in the day, and that it was supposed to in fact be his signature pickup, but the deal fell through before it went to market, so SD just released it as a regular model.

My question, then, is how does the Custom Custom compare to the EVH, soundwise? Anyone know?

Thanks.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The custom custom has way more output than the EVH pickup. The custom custom sounds miore like Ed after the Dave era. I'd say the EVH REALLY has the Dave-era VH sound with the right amp and guitar. Check my clips...

Thanks. Your clips sound great! Very EVH-like, which is the highest compliment I can give.

Yeah, DiMarzio's got some trademark or patent thing on them. Carvin can do it, though, but I guess it's because they have extra pole pieces that they can. I think I've got an article somewhere, let me see if I can find it.

Carvin most likely pays DiMarzio to use their patented color scheme. According to Seymour Duncan, it worked out to be $7 per pickup! I guess that explains why he won't do them anymore, and they are only available as a $150 custom order, with a cover on them...
