Seymour Duncan guitar pickups

[vulcan_creedler]

Greetings fellow earth-based Ric lovers!

A brief foray in the dangerous territory of guitars, by a fellow from the bass section!

I just saw these on eBay, whilst searching fro a 4003 bridge Hi-gain. I have never before come across these SD guitar pickups. Does anybody know anything about them? Do they infringe copyright?

Talking copyright, how about this:

Right - back to the safety of the bass section..............phew!

As good as Seymour is for Gibson and Fender pickups, his Rickenbacker pickups are generally not recommended.

Pretty sure these all violate trademark.

These were taken off the market many years ago when they were notified of the infringement.

There's a changing of the guard going on up there and I suspect someone who was unfamiliar with our long standing trademark had forgotten about the past history but we've brought them up to speed this morning.

Hi,
Drawing them back is shurely the right thing to do. But i am very confused, because it seems to be a regular Rickenbacker dealer in the UK ! I bought a Rickenbacker Vintage Case from them a year or two ago.
