I have a set of black bobbin'd MMK45's, each pickup with a double row of flat head screws that are gold (black and gold with two rows of screws each).

The seller said they were from a rare APII Randy Rhoads looking guitar. Has anyone seen pickups like these before on an Aria, or do you know of the RR guitar they were from? Curious, that's all.

With golden pole pieces, I would expect them to be from a Black & Gold series guitar.

It's the double rows of screws that is unusual. The Black n' Gold didn't have them, they had screws and slugs I believe, right? And the Ironman had the same pups. I haven't seen an Aria V yet with two rows of gold screws. Interested to see what guitar they were for...

My XX Deluxe had MMK45s with a double row of gold hex screws.

I loaned this guitar to a guy who had a small shop in town. He cleared out the shop and left town overnight without telling anyone. :x
