here is another early DiMarzio Super Distortion double cream pickup, known for its square tabs, from my personal collection (I also sold similar to this one weeks ago).

many people considered this early square tabs Super Distortions sounds different than today production of DP100 Super Distortion.
I've compared this early square tabs with the newer one, and I tend to agree with that.
the older one sounds a little bit warmer, less harsh top, which make the older one sounds better for me.

Larry introduced Super Distortion in  early 70s. the 2-conductor braided wire (for out-of-phase wiring) replaced 1-conductor one somewhere around 1976. and square tabs ended in early 80s. so it make this one came from between 1976 and early 1980s.

the pickup is in quite good condition considering its age (almost 40 years!). the cream color bobbin already been a little bit yellowish, or people usually called it, vintage cream.
the wire is still very long, around 14" left, more than enough for any position!
you can see DC resistance reading on the photo I provided (result might be vary a little bit, depending on the meters, temperature, etc).

I will ship the pickup from Indonesia, using registered airmail (you can trace it online on local Post Indonesia website).
it will cost around $10 for 250grams weight to anywhere in the world.
usually it will take from 2 to 4 weeks time to arrive on its destination (depending on postal traffic, weather condition, customs clearance, etc).
if you want a faster shipping time, we can use Express Mail Service (EMS), it's a little bit expensive, for example it will cost $17 for 250grams weight to US (cost for every country is different).
I will combine shipping if you buy more than one item, to minimize postage cost.
check out  my other listings. I'm downsizing my humbucker collections since I've been 'moving' to single-coil territory lately.

ask me if you have any question.
as is, no return.

(I'm quite new to Reverb, but I've been buying and selling various musics related stuffs more than 5 years now. I done it on several places such as 'the-bay', various guitar and DIY pedals related forums under nickname slim_blues_boy)
