Dimarzio VS1 pickup on eBay

[ATO]

Strongly suspect this is an elusive VS-1 if anybody is looking for one, can't see what else it could be measuring 6k, the pole pieces are correct, though the low E magnet has slipped. Very expensive though.

I think Ciff was looking for some? Probably a set?

Yikes that looks like it was stored together with old metal scrap and filings in a barn.

Probably came from fret levelling without covering the pickups!

I was refusing the thought that anyone in their right mind would do that on a ST-xxx and considering the dirt I came up with the scrap box idea instead. But seriously, $130? The last one Google found on Reverb sold for $50 3 years ago, admittedly without all the extra vintage dust and filings (but with a cover).

Edit: That would be more like it for that kind of money: DiMarzio NOS VS-1 DP-108 Single Coil Strat Pickup 1970s - 1980s White | Reverb

Hmm.. are those AlNiCo-5?

 

[ATO]

Totally agree.

That last one on Reverb with the box is sold.

They are hard to come by.

Yes, only require 1 more , but a set would be the ultimate.
