I contacted Seymour 7 or 8 years ago and he told me he "would" wind a pair for me BUT he "HAD" to put his logo on the face of the cover (which I would supply) and He refused to talk about this... If you want as close to a vintage Mosrite Pickup as you can get - talk to E.F. Elliot he has these pickups DOWN PAT...

I took a look at the" duncanrite" pickup on his website. I have fiddled with lots of mosrite pickups in my time. First off I dont think they(mosrite) have alnico 5 mags. Second, The non pole screw mozes' are about 8 ohms, the later polescew are about 10, and the earlier ( and late 70s-91s ) are about 13. These are my favorite. Im guessing the duncan sounds like a p90 .Ya , get some from Eddy( sounds just like 13 ohm mosrite) or have Fralin rewind what you have.

I have Seymour Duncan P-Rails...a P-90 and a Rail sandwiched into a Humbucker sized pickup. Price is top-end, like most Seymour stuff, but I do like the sound. The P-90's have a nice raunchy sound, with good tone, and the rails tend to add that nasal twang that people seem to like. These cost around 275.00 for the pair, and I must place myself in the "Satisfied Customer" column. I've heard several Mosrites, and the P-90 side of these pickups does a pretty good impersonation.

they can't even spell Mosrite right on their custom page, I wouldn't expect them to put too much effort in recreating the Mosrite pickup sound, rather than look. I got some SD P90's in a Les Paul and they do sound great but they are around the same DC resistance as those Mosrite pickups of his

DC Resistance: 8.3k, 8.6k

I had a P-Rails in my Hallmark 60 Custom (bridge). It was alright. The P-90 mode was great, the rails mode was okay, the humbucker mode was crap. It stayed in P-90 mode 99% of the time. Admittedly I don't typically go for "Mosrite sound". I love surf guitar, but I'm more of a punk rock moron, so close enough for surf is okay with me. Anyway, I'm digressing....Bob Shade at Hallmark made me a custom pickup called a "Fat Pig" and it's back in the guitar to stay.
