DiMarzio Model P or not?

Recommended Posts

I've just taken this pickup out of an 80s Hondo II H-1015 that I bought the other day but is too heavy to even contemplate using as is.  It certainly sounded very good but is it a DiMarzio?  Pics online seem to show a green wire not a blue one.  The covers come off, also - I think (?) that DiMarzio are glue filled?  or did it vary?

Any help in confirming or denying much appreciated.

Muchas gracias

Nobody recognise this - DiMarzio imposter or real deal?  A whisker under 12kOhm resistance, if that means anything much.

I would say it looks like a DiMarzio, and the output is right also. As you say the early ones were glued, but I think you have maybe a lower end DiMarzio (may be mass produced) to be used in mass produced basses.

Well, yes, I thought it might be.  I sent the pics to DiMarzio technical support and they just answered - not one of ours!  :) 

You beat me to it, Paul.

It doesn't look like any that I've used (which include both the modern Model P's but also 1970s/80s versions).

Of course, doesn't mean they are no good....
