Squidward, nice collection of p/ups.

If you were going to be stuck on an island for a while
which set would you want to take with you?


Current favorites:

Buckers - I love the Duncan Jeff Beck paired with a Jazz or PAF, MMK45s are a favorite, too, depending on the guitar's wood to some degree. Gibson T-Tops & PAFs are yummy in the right application (I only really like them clean in my maple guitar, they roar nicely in mahogany).

Tele - Duncan Hellecaster lead (Donahue?) and AlNiCo 5-2 rhythm

P-90s - the Gibson P-90s from my old '56 LP Special, the fat Fender single-coils in my old '62 Jazzmaster.

Gibson chrome 'bucker from a 1991 Les Paul Standard, probably the neck pickup. Measures 7.16k, black conductor & braided shield. Anybody know if there was a model # for these, or what it might be equivalent to now?

Some more research pointed towards this one being a '65-'75 Gibson T-Top, essentially a PAF with a patent #. It's now going into a '72 SG. :up:

Unknown humbucker jammed into a Gibson chrome cover, also came out of the '91 Les Paul mentioned above. Measures 13.64k from the red/blk + shield, with the wht + grn tied together. Lots of potting wax, tinneman clips for the screw mounts. Any clues what this beastie might be?

Best guess on this one so far is that it's a modded Duncan Custom. It's going into the lead position on the '72 SG mentioned above, with a series/parallel switch.
