dudewhoasweet Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hey everybody. I have a guitar that was purchased in 1969 by my father, The comapnys name is Raven and it is an acrylic guitar. It looks bassically like the Dan Armstrong guitar from AMPEG. My dad got this guitar when he was about 16 or 17 and he chaged the stock pickups for gibson pickups. Just tonight i took the pickguard off to look at the pickups and on the back of them it says Patent NO 2737 842. I know there are old enough pickups however i dont know what year these would have been made in. My dad sdays they are from the 50's. I was just wondering if anybody had info on these and could possibly tell me a price that they would go for. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Do they have a secondary set printed numbers?..... Also is there a T on the bobbin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewhoasweet Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 im not sure if there is a T on them becase they have the covers on them, and im not sure what you mean by secondary set printed numbers. If this helps any, they are not full sized humbuckers and they arent singel coils, there umm...mini humbucker size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to go by your first post, and since pups are usually one of the first mods to be performed, they could be from 1970 to 1975 pups. it's really tough to say[confused] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really do need to see snaps, though. Here's how. http://forums.gibson.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=11276 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewhoasweet Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 welll ive been looking around and ive narrowed down the year to somewhere between 1969 - 1972 because the pickup covers have Gibson embossed on them, and they only did that during those years.
