That is bloody ridiculous! quot;Mojo rustquot; on the pole pieces... ha.

Looks to be possibly double cream, maybe that's why?

Yes, but even so, you can get those NEW for less than that much.
A fool and his money...

Yes you can. It's called 'loosely soldered' covers.

??????????????????????? r u serious ?

Yes. Loosely soldered covers is somewhat of a codeterm for double creme under gold/nickel covers.

It of course is a shop floor custom model, and only available through certain dealers.

Well, it was wound by MJ.

And it did start at 99 cents with no reserve.

So really there's no fault by the seller. It's just that stupid people are willing to pay that much.

1. the seller is NOT to blame for people wanting to throw their money out a bit quicker than usual, but the double cream and Wound By MJ are extra tidbits....

And yes, you can still get double cream Duncans from some dealers, Lew and Blackrose, for example.

Dimarzio owns the trademark (very wrongly IMO) for OPEN coils.... But nobody can tell you what to put under a cover....and sometimes those dang things just fall off

Yep, I've ordered several sets of them. Duncan will tell you there's no garuntee what color bobbins will be underneath the cover, but surprise surprise if mine weren't double cream every time They get by on it because they cover the pickups, the Dimarzio patent is for open coils, kind of a technicality but IMO it's justified since it was really Seth Lover and Gibson that made the humbuckers first, and in double cream - not Larry Dimarzio.

So how do I get the rust off of those screws? Well I guess sandpaper. Maybe I can buy that too on ebay. What do you think a fair price is for some sandpaper on ebay. I assume it can't be any more than $35-$40 a sheet. I wonder if they sell that in cream? Or does Dimarzio own the patent on all things cream

I wonder... do the quot;loosely soldered coversquot; have, of can they have, the lettering on the bobbin?

two reasons
it is double creme and it is a OLDER duncan
many that i know believe the older duncans sound better?
and maybe just maybe they have to give MJ a % of the sale

I always heard that quot;Mojo Rustquot; makes the pickup sound better. Or not.

If had patented double-cream, NOBODY on here would say he was in the wrong. They'd say that he did it first and that's how patents work, so tough-luck DiMarzio and Gibson.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, as I find double-cream to be hideous, and have no intention of ever owning one anyway

It´s a trademark, not a patent... the major difference: Patents expire, trademarks don´t.Originally Posted by JB_From_HellIf had patented double-cream, NOBODY on here would say he was in the wrong. They'd say that he did it first and that's how patents work, so tough-luck DiMarzio and Gibson.

Au Contraire: I´d be boycotting SD, and I´m pretty sure there´s more than a handful of others that can honestly say they would as well.

IMO that trademark belongs to nobody.... everybody had double creams and zebras and double blacks and reverse zebras.

What Gibson originally did: they just grabbed whatever bobbin was closer.

quote from the auction :

quot; It had a chrome cover that has been removed, never to be heard from again. quot;

how much do they cost new? without the mojo rust.
