BadgerDave Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 Anyone have ay idea what these might be? They were installed in the 80 Special that Dave's recently had listed.
kizanski Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 I’m no detective but I think I know who bought that 1980 Special from Dave’s with the headstock repair and the changed out pickups.
Cboss Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 What is the DC resistance? The three adjustment screws look like ibanez/maxon to me, double hex pole pieces could be a V2, their version of a super distortion (excellent) Congrats on snagging that guitar, that was really beautiful and a good price
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 Based purely on the hex poles, I'm guessing a Dimarzio Super Distortion. It would be about right...

I'm guessing they're ceramic magnets and would be more appropriate for a much pointier guitar.

Their version of a super distortion.

luis Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 Sure Murkat. Japanese put DiMarzios clones by Maxon or Gotoh on their early 80s guitars, Aria/Matsumoku guitars but also Tokai ( I have one on my parts bin).
