I got three of them. One of those I gave to my grandson.
Gretsch and Randy had a charity auction years ago. A friend of mine tipped me off to the event. He got one. I put bids on 3 and got them all. They are essentially acoustic Super Eagles with floating pups.
Together we got the first 4 Synchromatics. I kept two blondes and had a single coil pickup put into a Heritage floating casing made by one of the Heritage guys.
Agreed. I don't doubt the pickups being Seth Lovers or not. I'm also confident they are genuine Duncans. Counterfeits don't sound as good as these do. I think one is regular after market production line and the other is OEM. Normal spec for the bridge is 8.1 - 8.3, so this one is still within the +/- 5% tolerance range.
Doesn't seem wrong for Seth Lovers. They're usually around 8k ish.
I can't remember if they have the same impedance bridge and neck, or slightly more winds on the bridge. I was thinking they were the same. They're in the ballpark anyway.
The original PAF were the same, neck or bridge.
