Help ID Dimarzio Vector pickup

[Dave Scepter]

Has anyone ever seen this before?.. It's a pickup I pulled out of a early 80's Vector with a X2N base plate and Super Distortion or Dual Sound bobbins about 16k ohms

Guitar parts are another man's legos.

Sometimes they fit together, sometimes not.

What you have there is an x2n base plate with some hot coils on top.

Cool~ Whatever it is, it sounds great & if I ever decide to sell the guitar it's in, I will make sure the ad says "equipped with a DiMarzio Lego!"

Thanks for the info!

Someone had a dead X2N and a Super D with a stripped adjustment screw hole

[Dave Scepter]

Hmmmmm, I wonder if you can do that with Seymour Duncan pickups?.. Because I have an Invader that someone drilled the mounting holes out for I'm assuming, direct mounting~

Meh, probably another project that never gets done~

For the most part, yes, it can be done.

If the spacing and holes line up, you bet.

As everyone else said, a hybrid of parts.

I was just going through my old stuff and found my original Dimarzio X2N pickups from #0531.

1981 vintage.

So did you convert/repair your pickups?

No, I replaced the neck and bridge with pitbulls
