I think Duncans are made a lot better than Dimarzios.

Actually AFAIK Dimarzio registered the name "PAF" before Gibson, and after in the 80s when Gibson reissued the "Paf" pickup they forced them to change name thus the pickup became the "classic '57"...

Even more appalling is their trademarking of Double cream even though everyone had them for years.. until DImarzio decided to play dirty everyone was able to make them... now they have to "cheat" (ex. SD´s "Loosely Soldered Covers" option) or pay royalties or do without.... I was a Dimarzio fan and dealer until I heard of this, and it took all of an hour for me to drop that dealership. I haven´t looked back since, SD has had much better service since day 1 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

My boycot of Dimarzio goes so far that I refuse to buy a new guitar with one in it, because the company that produced the guitar paid Dimarzio for the pickup. That means no PC1s for me... but so far I´ve done well without [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I've got the best of both worlds in my 7-string... a Duncan Custom in the bridge and a DiMarzio Blaze single coil in the neck. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I still prefer DiMarzio, though.

The fact that they are able to trademark a certain bobbin color is such [img]/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img] anyways... [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/nono.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/eyes.gif[/img]

I have both myself. No real preference.

Re: DiMarzio and Seymour Duncan

I like them both depending on the model although I like Andersons better than either of them.
