Acrosaw Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Greetings. I have 4 Gibsons. Today I've been asked "what pickups do you have on your 1973 SG 175102 Made in USA? They are 2 black, with a black frame that has a screw in each corner.Can someone tell me the name? (The camera made it look brown, It's red.) I thought I had load a pic, but now it's gone. I tried again and it said "only#######mb allowed" The only way to date it down to the exact year, is to read the stamp on the potentiometers (volume and tone "pots"): 137 73 36 The following is according to "Guitardaterproject.org" date guitar by the potentiometer codes "This potentiometer was made by CTS Corporation (Chicago Telephone Supply) in the 36th week of 1973 This means that (given this is an original part) this is the earliest possible date your guitar (speaker) was made."

Retired Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I'm no expert, but I think he's right. Standard humbuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
