henrik69 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi guys, I am new here so hi to all! Could somebody possibly help me identifying my Humbucker: Sticker on the backside Patent No 2,737.842, T marked on both black boppins (on left side of each a small 2 and 4), GREY wire http://www.matsumoku.org/ggboard/download/file.php?id=475&mode=view http://www.matsumoku.org/ggboard/download/file.php?id=477&mode=view Somebody now the production date? Appr. value? Thanks for any help! Brgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 http://www.provide.net/~cfh/paf.html About half way down... After PAF pickups were gone, the patent# pickups were next and used from 1962 to 1965. Then from 1965 to 1975 (note overlap) the next Gibson humbucker is known as the "T bucker" or "T top". They are called this because of a "T" that is part of the molding on the front of the two pickup bobbins. These also had the decal with "Patent No 2,737,842" (still the patent number of Les Paul's trapeze tailpiece). The only way to see the "T" is to remove the pickup cover. A small change in late patent# pickups was white PVC bobbin wires instead of black (black was used on pre-1965 humbuckers). Also T buckers can use either slot or phillips head screws to hold the bobbins to the base plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
