Jazzerous Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 My new Heritage today!! But need help on the pups and neck, fretboard as it does not have the Maple neck but seems like an ebony fretboard and Mahogany neck! I bought this 555 and the sticker inside says {Seymour Duncan S-1 Over Pus} and I am trying to figure out which pickups this indicates! The pups seemed too dark so I adjusted them and now they sound much better!!! Here are the Pics!!! Does the fretboard look ebony or just a very dark rosewood ?

DetroitBlues Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 You do have an ebony board and probably have a mohagany neck... As far as pickups go, well... I suggest you loosen the strings, remove the pickup ring screws from the corners of the rings and lift up those pickups and read the back of them. I couldn't find what you have on SD's website... By the way, congrats! Beautiful guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxdx99 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Guesses... pickups are SD59s (SH1) that are overwound. Heritage went from maple to mahongany (or vice-versa) necks on 555 ~3-4 years ago (someone here likely recalls the details). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bob Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I would guess the pups are Seth lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm betting fxdx99 is right and they are SH1s. Only one way to know fer sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I was thinking the same, but the best way to know is to flip them over and take a peek inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzerous Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Although the S-1 inside the guitar on sticker on Seymour Duncan website indicates 59's I pul;led the pups and found that thay are Seth Lovers! \\Thanks for the help guys I am digging this new toY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bolero Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 ha, that's funny..so " S-1 Over" is actually "Seth Lover" is some of the text rubbed out or something? I think there's an old Sci-Fi movie where they find this piece of alien space junk and it's called "V ger" at the end of the movie it's revealed to be "Voyager I" with all the letters worn off anyway.....congrats that is a beauty and those are killer pickups!!

Jazzerous Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 So here is a picture of the inside cavity . I thought from what was written we could figure out what pickups were inside at least stock realizing pups are changed all the time ! I looked on the Duncan ste and S H-1 indicated 59's but once I pulled the pups out it said Seth E.Lovers! I hope the the fact that I love this new guit for me does not get lost in the techy question but thanks for helping out and the compliments !!!

Jazzerous Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Ooops ! Here is the pic of inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah... the handwriting on the labels can be easily misinterpreted sometimes... That says 2 Seymour Duncan S-Lover pu's I've got a couple of guitars with Seths.... it would be hard to find a better pickup for that type of Heritage... Congrats on a great guitar.
