Is this a Tar Back pickup?

I've bought an '81 Ibanez AR50, which has an unidentified pickup in it's bridge.

 

* Semi-clear epoxy resin

* Adjustable pole pieces (rules out the Ibanez Super80)

* Two braided wires

* Worn gold cover

* No visible markings/logo/etc

Does anybody recognize this pickup?

Hello and welcome to the Forums!

They look like Gibson tar-backs...

 

...however, check the DC resistance. They can be Super Humbuckers or early Dirty Fingers. Both are tar-backs.

 

Cheers... Bence
