Joel O'Keeffe Rig Rundown

I am not a fan of Seymour Duncan pickups. When I approached SD about a custom pickup, they kept steering me towards and off-the-shelf model. DiMarzion dug in, took the time to ask me what i was looking for, requested sound clips and designed and built a pickup to my specs - the 16.6k Dimarzio Neanderthal.

However, I decoided to post what Joel said in an interview about his pickups:

"I use the Duncan 59s and the Screamin’ Demons in The Gibson SGs and some of the Gibson Explorers respectively, but the main white Gibson Explorer I use live has the Seymour Duncan… um …I actually don’t know! Its been there for so long and the serial number has worn off, but I know its a Duncan because I bought it when i was 15 and its still goin’ strong! Seymour Duncan just makes what I play cut sharper and opens the door to use more dynamics, light and shade. Seymour Duncan gets the best out of you and cuts through all the BS with uncompromising tone. My Seymour Duncan pickups never quit and cut through the BS night after night..."

According to the Duncan website, the Screamin' Demon had 10.1k DCR and Alnico V magnets and the Duncan '59 neck is 7.43l also Alnico V.
