The single coil on the WC 7 is a STK-1Tn (stacked) and is listed as having a pretty high output on the Duncan website. 15.88k and 7.8 split.

I wonder if they have it wired split and that is why it is so low in output compared to the JB 16k

Unless thats what they wanted it to sound like ( a vintage single coil ), I'd much prefer the higher output.

When I get home I'm going to look and see.

It should be wired with the black to the switch, red/white together and taped off and green/ground to the pot. This is typical Duncan standard humbucking wiring and the stacked single coils from them have the same 4 conductor wiring as their humbuckers.

I know that my Ibanez RG2610 came with a Duncan Full Shred that was wired wrong from the factory...they used the color code from DiMarzio (which is what Ibanez has historically used). I think only one coil was actually working cuz it sounded very thin, I fixed that in about 5 min.

Well, whatever the WC #7 neck pickup is it's not a STK-1Tn as advertised cuz that has 4 conductor wiring.

The pickup in my 7 is 2 conductor with a ground.

Oh well.

OEM pickups don't always come the same way as they come aftermarket. The guitar manufacturers same a little money that way. You really need to look at the bottom of the pickup.

so I may go with the timmons hotrails/ chopper or hotrails....jsut got to get one cheap...

Just make sure it doesn't have a tab.

[manu80]

Rich#6 sorry for my ignorance but what do you call a tab, please?

[Rich#6]

Single coil sized pickups have a tab/lip where to wiring sticks out. Charvels special orders the pickups to where they don't have tabs the wiring is usually at the end underneath.

that's what I thought after thinking about it.thx for the confirmation !

I looked, it doesn't say. There is usually a little sticker with the model # but they had a pc of cloth tape covering the underneath of the pickup. When I removed the tape there was a blank sticker. No way to really indentify it.

It doesn't matter, I replaced it with a slightly hotter Duncan single coil I had sitting around. It's just slightly hotter yet still single coily!

Well, i looked that the San Dimas and the So Cal tonight. Didn't get one. I thought the neck would be a little thinner. I don't like them super thin, but my DK2 felt better in my hands. Finish wise, they do look great. The candy blue is freaking awesome in person. The candy red was a little pinkish. I didn't play it through an amp, but it did feel slinky and that trem looks a lot better than the JT580's. I do know one thing, I want something in that candy blue down the road. If i find one used later on, I'd probably buy it.

[Rich#6]

IF you played usa models yes the necks are C shaped not D like the DK2. the Japanese ones are more D shaped and feel thinner.

[jackhamer]

They were MIJ's.

Am I the only one who finds the SH4 on the wild card too loud/strong ? I just upgraded to a SD Cool rail for the neck and even after that, I still have a huge gap sound between the 2 !! The Cool rail have more punch thet the stock one, but even for a small humbucker, it should deliver and I lowered the bridge PU too but still....

It seems there has been some more stock released here in the UK. A few weeks ago most retailers had no Pro-Mods left, but a quick check today I see limited stock at Coda, GuitarGuitar and Richtone.

Get 'em while they're hot. Maybe it's a special "Olympics" sale?
