WTB: Single-coil sized humbuckers


Recommended Posts

I need a few. I dig the Duncan Vintage Staggered Stacks a lot, as well as the DiMarzio stuff (Area's, etc). Not so much looking for a humbucker tone, just want to kill the hum.

Thanks!

They're sort of the opposite of what you're after, but on the off chance you're also interested in rails-style pickups, I have a few DiMarzio's lying around somewhere...

Not opposed to hearing what you might have..........thanks!

You're welcome! :D

I'd want you to be REALLY sure that you want to try them though, since if they sounded anything like real single coils, I wouldn't have bothered replacing them. :) They came with bright white covers, but DiMarzio sells replacement covers in a ton of colors. That out of the way, what I have now is two of the following:

  • DP182W - bridge - Fast Track 2
  • DP181W - middle - Fast Track 1
  • DP188W - neck - Pro Track

I'm 99% sure that it's the Pro Track and the FT1, since I think I just left the bridge pickup alone when I installed the new neck and bridge, but I'll confirm tonight and get back to you.

Slightly off track (and no affiliation), but if you consider buying new, I replaced these rails with Microcoils from Wilde Pickups. They're not noise-cancelling, but (if I recall) they use powerful magnets and low winds so that they're really, really quiet, are $135 for a full strat set (sadly, I think they're only sold in sets) and they sound great too! They make a lot of cool pickups in a bunch of styles and they're all very reasonably priced.

I have a couple stacked Duncan single coils I got from murkat that I'd be willing to part with. Pretty sure they have staggered pole pieces. They come from murkat's personal stash with his highest recommendation. Was gonna put 'em in my Chap but I decided to go with Rio Bladerunners instead.

I have a duplicate set of the DiMarzios I run in my strat.

DP420 - Virtual Solo

DP416 - Area '61

DP409 - Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2

I also have a Duncan Li'l Screamin' Demon. White, old design (ribbon around bobbins, not molded plastic).
