Title: Limited Edition Duncan Hendrix Pickups
Post by: BluesJam on July 11, 2019, 01:15:48 PM
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🤩

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!!!!

Alas, Larry only patented the pixie cream.

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.

News flash....... DiMarzio buys the Jimi Hendrix Strat and files numerous patents on every component.  Larry files an enforcement order on Seymour Duncan stopping production on all Guitar Fetish made Hendrix pickups that are costing consumers $300.    I love fake news!

Then they sue Gibson for that hideous Hendrix Experience . . . thing. It's for the best, really.

I thought the posthumous set were the Cas Chandler limited editions.

Nah.... the Chas set was replaced by the Janie Hendrix  Experience Hendrix “ back up the Brinks Truck” set.   They say that this set”is more Bank for your buck”

 ;D love it!!! Don't get me started on what she wants from you if you happen to want to include a Jimi song on a record. It would be different if I were paying Jimi, but she had no input on his creative genius. I would rather pay Chas a royalty. Sorry for going off the rails. I just had to vent about contacting the Hendrix estate about recording a song. Their demands changed my m il and real quick about buying anything with his name on it including reissues of his records.
