They are modified P-90s. Here's a blurb from Premiere Guitars review of the Tally - "...This guitar further asserts its identity via the Seymour Duncan custom-wound, humbucker-sized P-90s. As part of an ongoing collaboration between the two companies, the pickup's sonic objective was to cross Roy Buchanan's fat, squeally bridge pickup from Nancy with more traditional P-90 flavors, with just a pinch of James Burton's signature Tele-cluck thrown in.In a video featuring Jol Dantzig, Seymour Duncan and Evan Skopp (available at hamerguitars.com) Seymour and company achieved this goal by using oversized Alnico magnet pole-pieces on the rear pickup while using the more traditional steel-slugs-witha- bar-magnet design at the neck, scatterwinding both. The end result is impressive, with the bridge pickup, aided by the stringthrough bridge, delivering a nice mix of P-90 grit with fat, Nashville approved Tele spank.The custom wound "Double-D," or Duncan and Dantzig, pickups also feature a unique and surprisingly flexible 4-position switching scheme: all the way back is the bridge pickup, next is neck and bridge in parallel, then the neck pickup alone and finally the neck and bridge in series. The end result is an uber-flexible setup that is able to cover much more sonic territory than typically afforded using traditional dual-pickup wiring. In addition to the bridge pickup's raucous Tele-inspired tones, using the bridge and neck in parallel gives up a nice, bell-like vibe not dissimilar to Roy Nichols' work with the Strangers, albeit with additional beef. Both pickups in series serve up a healthy dose of fatty, greasy goodness, while the neck pickup on its own offers thick, stringy sounds with plenty of grit - think Hubert Sumlin with the Wolf..."I had a Rio Grande Bastard/Fat Bastard humbucker sized P-90s. They sounded like great, but they didn't sound like the DDs. Good luck finding the real deal.
