Duncan Super V, anybody tried them?

[mooncobra]

I have, and I think they are one of the best bridge pups ever, especially on a maple body!! Really thick and fat, yet great definition. Especially good for the chugga chugga thing, 80's stuff and everything else! If you have not tried one check them out, I have tried just about every pup out there and the Super V on a super strat kicks serious ass, makes it sound huge!! Leads are great sounding also, single note lines sound really up front, defined and smooth!!

What's the specs on them? Magnets and output?

Here is a link to the Duncan page for the Super V.

It is listed as kind of a hot pick up, but oddly when you play it, it does not feel hot touch sensitivity wise if that makes any sense to anyone. Woith a Duncan Distortion, if you mute the E string, and do the chugga Metallica type thing the string feels kind of medium hard, but with the Super V, when you mute the string it feels like you are actually hitting a hard object. I sold a Lynch to a guy oin this site who swore by EMG's, and he said he would check out the Super V I put in, and he got back to me saying it was absolutely amazing and for then on out he was switching to the Super V because it sounded so damn huge!

coincidently, I have the LTD Super V guitar, it's an amazing guitar, nothing like it . maybe this will be the pickup for it.
Can I ask what guitar you got with the Super V pup in it?
My EBMM JP6 really need a new set of pups.

I didnt get it in any guitar. My friend had one in a ESP Tiger Lynch with maple body and I loved it. I put them in guitars with alder, basswood, and maple bodies and it worked amazing with ALL!!! I suggest you try it out. I think you will like it. I had a JP6 and thought the stock pups were kind of crappy. Put a Super V in that as well and it SMOKED!!!!

Well, I am sure you can order them through Seymour Duncan. I go to Gary Brower in San Francisco. When I take guitars in to him I just have him order one through Duncan and it arrives from them a day or two later. Check out guitar techs, music stores, or online. I am sure you could order one from Duncan.
It is easily the best bridge pup I have ever played, at least for me and I have tried them all. Really fat, yet defined, hit a chord and you can hear all the strings ringing nicely. They are through the Duncan Custom Shop so they are a bit more than your normal Duncan pup, but to me at least, WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

By any chance you have some clips you could share?
One thing about my JP6, the D-Sonic bridge is just plain shit, so i'm really curious about the Super V.
