Wouldn't it be nice ... (pickup I.D.)

[MikeTTF]

Wouldn't it be nice if all the manufacturers would I.D. their pickups?

A label (or something) stating ... Year - Make - Model - Neck or Bridge calibration.

I have several pu's in my parts box that I have no idea about ... how about you?

I've got quite a few pickups with stickers...that tell me absolutely nothing [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I've got two or three Jackson pickups that I think I can identify by the output registered on a meter...but I keep putting them back in the box without marking them after I measure them...damn [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yeah it's be great if they could stamp the baseplates with something more than their company name. At lest DiMarzio stamps the model number on theirs, and Duncan has a professionally printed sticker these days instead of the old fading ink style [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Still, something like 'Jazz Neck' or 'SuperDistortion' rather than BR549 would be great

I have a mystery pickup right here in front of my PC; I think it came out of a LP copy that Wendy O. Williams chainsawed at the Country Club back in 1987.

Black hum, looks like a Duncan, one row of poles is slotted round, other row is plain round, gold baseplate with no marks, single grey lead.
Anybody wanna guess?

Sounds like a Duncan Dorkfish. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Isn't that model a Bonefish?
