Limited Edition Duncan Hendrix Pickups

Snake oil on Jimi’s reputation.  Obviously, nobody is going to install a collectible commemorative set of pickups.  Jimi had so many strats and who is to say what songs the Duncan sets were used, if at all.  https://youtu.be/PcjSeBFfwVw

I entered to win them. I’m not really a Strat guy so I’d probably sell them if I won.

I entered too!  I’m going to trade my set to Joe Bonamassa for a ‘59 Les Paul🤩

Entered for the chance to set these on fire in tribute of the man.

Rumor has it that Mary Poppins sprinkled some psychedelic pixie dust on these pickups for Seymour Duncan.  At least Larry would have patented the pixie dust!!!!

The ingredients of success:

1) Seymour Duncan
2) a photo op with Hendrix
3). Repeat steps 1 & 2 for 50 years = snake oil success in the pickup industry.

Cashing in on Jimi is relatively recent. They’ve been cashing in on Page for about 6-7 years. They’ve been hitting on the Beck thing since day 1 (1976) with Billy G coming in a close 2nd.

Id bet the custom shop Psychedelic Set was the Jimi wind before the family signed off on the official set.

I mean IDK about what y'all saw but they literally had Jimi's face and buzzwords plastered all over the marketing for the Custom Shop Psychedelic pickups. Like the old George Lynch pickups after he went to Arcane, or the '78 with EVH, or the High Voltage set with Angus.
I mean, I don't blame them, they're doing pretty well for themselves and they put out some pretty good product.

I just entered to win a set so i can sell them and get some more Heavy Blues 2s for my other strats.
If you're having one of those days where everyone is on your case and is just getting on your nerves, it's probably not everyone else
