MadHatter Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hello all, I'm new this forum and I'm also the proud new owner of one beat to hell, heavily modified 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom. I purchased this guitar for $1000 and am generally happy with the purchase. The feel of the neck is amazing as the finish is coming off. My main question however is: Can anyone identify the pickups in this guitar? I cannot seem to find anything. They're fairly unique looking and I haven't come across them anywhere else. I'm almost positive they are not Gibson pickups, which makes me feel better about replacing them (way to dark for my tastes). I was thinking about dropping some Bare Knuckle Mules in there. Thank you for your time and letting me display my baby. I also emailed Gibson's customer service and found out that this guitar was manufactured on the 323rd day of 1978 in Kalamazoo, MI so it is an authentic Gibson.

Dave Carpenter Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Nice! Can we see a clear image of the back of these pickups and also the sides and top? Thanks for sharing your images. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I don't recognize them but they should be easily identified by the bobbins or cover or whatever you'd call it. I can't say I've ever seen ones like that. The closest I've ever seen was on Dimarzio Model One bass pickups (obviouslly not the case here).
