I was given a set of old Gibbie pups about 5 years ago, and at first I wasn't sure they were Gibson (although they sound fantastic), until I saw this pic. It's a wiring harness from a '73 SG, and the pickups are identical to mine, except mine have gold covers. Anyone have any info on this type of Gibbie 'bucker, specifically what years they were manufactured/used? Their outputs are fairly low, perhaps due to age, but they have tons of tone...bright but not overly so with a sweet midrange and a nice bottom-end. Bridge reads about 7.4k ohms, neck about 5.5 or so. Do these ring a bell with anyone?
