Seymour Duncan Pickup Colors...

[deviltronix]

Does anyone know if you can get Cream Colored Humbuckers from Seymour Duncan.. I need a cream colored Distortion but zebra is the closest thing I can find, and the seymour Duncan site doesn't list all cream as an option.

thanks for any info,

Best thing to do would be to call them up and ask. I don't see why they'd have zebra but not cream, or white at least.

I believe they can't do double cream, because DiMarzio has some kind of rights to that color, if I remember correctly. There was some kind of discussion about it here last year. Duncan only offers the zebra with cream.

Here's my Carvin with double cream pups. I think Carvin can do double cream because it has more pole pieces. http://carvin.electricshockmusic.com/toejamsc90_1.jpg

God damn! Your right about the Dimarzio patent... Happened in 1998 How the hell can you patent a color? Gibson have a double cream humbucker.. wonder how they pulled it off.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">DiMarzio actually has it a registered trademark, so of course it would be trademark infringement. If you call Seymour Duncan's custom shop they
can make a p-up with the double creme, but they'll have to ship it with the crome cover soldered on. You'll just have to remove it...

Just buy a Dimarzio and Screw Duncan [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] They offer any color you want and will even give you chrome or gold pole pieces if you want.

Duncan offers all these colors, Red, blue, etc. , But when you order one , 2 months goes by and they say, " Oh by the way, you can only get colors in the standard spacing, not the trembuckers" Idiots!

Besides, Dimarzios return policy is much better. I got one from them and they give you 30 days , not 21, anyway it took a week and a half and I had a new one to my door. Duncan on the other hand took 5 weeks before I got my pickup!
