Hey Guys,
i read quiet a lot about the Gibson pickups with the Pat. No. 2737843 stamped on it. I bought a 1997 Les Paul custom in aged white and wanted to know what pickups are in it because it sounded kind of good ;)
So i took them out and realized that there is one of those Pat. No. Pcikups on the neck. The bridge Pickup seems to be usual 490T, though it has 13,7k and a single conductor braided wire...kind of strange, but will swap this one with a wolfetone.
So i removed the cover of the Pat.No. pickup and saw that there's NO T on top of them, so it's no T-top. There isn't even any number inked over the stamped Pat. No. on the bottom of the pickup. And if i measured it the right way, to pickup seems to have 8,2k. Seems a little high to me. But i don't think it's an bridge model because it sounds warm but has enough clarity.
So i just want to know if this is no tim shaw and no t-top, what's it instead?! All threads i read ended up with people having T-Tops or Tim Shaws after removing the cover. But not this time. So if anybody knows MORE about these pickups i'd be very glad to know what i got here!
