Could be. Ripper pickups weren't potted and are probably easy to take apart, BUT not only do mine not work, the plastic covers are cracked. They'd be expensive to fix, I think. Seymour Duncan told me they don't normally pot their Ripper pups but said they'd gladly do it for mine. They email I got back from them confirming my order was real nice. They come with the mounting screws too, which is good because I don't have them and couldn't find the right replacements.
