If it had 4 blades, it could be a DiMarzio multibucker.

It only had 2 blades, but they were small baldes like on the Seymour Duncan and the same as on the multibucker...

Thanx c",)

Could have been either a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker or a Bill Lawrence L-500 series.

Carvin twinblade humbuckers look like this too, but with no logo.

That was probably either DiMarzio's Fast Track, Chopper, or the new Tone Zone T. These are hum-cancelling strat-replacement pickups... essentially a humbucker for your strat. Lots of people seem to be throwing them in their strats for some killer tones.

sorry didn't read carefully. so it was a humbucker? hmmm.... i'd say X2N

Thank you for helping me guys...
It looks exactly like this

But it is a full Humbucker not a single coil replacing humbucker, a normal humbucker...The Dimebucker looks like it, but the blades were black...
Don't think I'll ever find out what it was c",)

im pretty sure what u saw was a dimarzio X2N, and they are awesome pickups!!

If it has tiny blades its probably the Bill Lawrence or the Dimebucker. The X2N has big fat rectangle blades, and the other Dimarzio's people mentioned are either single coil sized humbuckers like the Duncan picture you posted, or they'd have four blades.

The X2N is not a strat replacement, its a full size humbucker, and I am pretty sure now that this is the p/u you are looking for.

Is this it?

p.s. these pickups kick ass

Thanks for the help CM, but it can't be the X2N, that's why he showed us a picture of the Hot Rails, to illustrate the blade width. The Lawrence pickups looked different over time. Sometimes they had an extra plastic ring around the bobbins, and sometimes they were encased, looking more like an EMG with blades coming through the top.

yep, my bad frank, you said rectangular and i was only referring to the fact that the x2n blades were rounded on the ends.

i don't think it could be the dimebucker because those have seymour duncan written on them (and i think dime's signature too), and the blades aren't black. At this point i would be leaning towards the L-500. It would be nice if we could find a picture of this dude's guitar
