I have a Seymour Duncan STK-P1B. This will fit into the stock Hamer XT pickup rout ... just. Fasten the pickup with the stock pickup cover on top and compressible foam padding beneath.
How much are you after?
The foam rubber prevents the dome-headed screws that fasten the pickup baseplate to the lower coil bobbin from scratching the finish on the floor of the pickup rout.
It may be necessary to slightly enlarge the polepiece screw holes in the Hamer pickup cover to get the Duncan screws to fit.
This installation method is equally applicable for Gibson P-100 pickups.
Would the Sea Smoke be the best for the classic LP Jr sound and do you do a Dogear version?
Cheers
I do dogear at request for the same price.
As its a cheap guitar, looking to pay up to £30 if poss
What are you selling for £17?
Meanwhile, back at the ranch ...
I have a 2011 Hamer XT Junior. I stole the idea to upgrade it from the Hamer LP DC type guitars of the same series. (A few of these left the factory with OEM Duncan SH-4/SH-1 humbucker pairs. The improvement over in-house pickups was impossible to ignore.) After a few experiments, I settled on a Duncan Antiquity dogear P90. I realise that this must seem like a huge extravagance but the pickup was obtained pre-owned.
Spec-wise, the Duncan Antiquity and Alegree Sea Smoke seem to be in very similar territory. (You can see where this is leading, can't you?) The way that they push an overdriven valve amp is very similar. This suits a certain way of playing.
So, in the words of an old Tony Hancock skit, I suggest that you, "pay up and try to look big."
I'm sure the Alegree pups sound excellent and are good value but current funds dictate that I should wait for a quality S/h unit!
