59?

I think many of us are aware that for both Seymour Duncan & DiMarzio pickups, supplies had been hit by the COVID-19 situation. As such, we resort to cybershopping looking for whatever's available in the mean time. Someone asked me if the SH-1 above is a good deal considering it's less than USD50 per piece. The Seymour Duncan '59 (SH-1) comes in two versions; the 2-conductor, vintage type (has no brand label on it) & the contemporary 4-conductor version (bottom right in pic). In both cases, the pole pieces are the slug-slot combo. The budget SH-1 you see above is a pirated article; the black hex pole pieces are a dead giveaway. Folks, be careful buying from online re-sellers, some of whom are unauthorized entities, others are simply fake-mongers preying on the uninitiated. Before you commit to buying, it's best to ask around first unless it's your every intention to buy fake stuff - there are indeed people like that.
