Freak Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi, I've got a 2005 Cherry Flying V, typical '67 reissue version in gloss Heritage Cherry with white PG. I pulled the pickups and installed 2 original Tim Shaw Dirty Fingers. The pickups that came out of it are not covered and just have the Gibson USA logo stamped on the bottom. one side has flat screw poles. Does anyone know what pickups these are? I believe they are stock from that guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx-ogre Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I can’t say with absolute certainty, but I believe V’s during that period came stock with the 496R/500T pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I'm pretty sure that tx-ogre is correct. I remember my old Faded Cherry Flying V had stupidly hot pick ups in it. It also had a screw rattling around inside the control cavity somewhere right from the factory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 My 2007 Faded Flying V with three pickups has two 496R pickups and one 500T pickup and they look like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
