nodrog182 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 ok so i bought a set of gibson dirty fingers off of ebay. The guy claimed he took them out of a guitar in favor of a duncan set. I just got them in the mail and they look a little different. I notice all of the newer dirty fingers actually have dirty fingers printed on the front and have CHROME poles, where as the ones i just got do have the dirty fingers printed on the front, but have GOLD poles. I looked and looked online but never found a pic of the same looking pickup ( pickup with dirty fingers stamped on the front AND gold poles). Did i get ripped off?? I really appreciate any thoughs or opinions thank you! ps this is my first post. hi to everyone on the forums, my name is gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BentonC Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Did the seller tell you what guitar they came out of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodrog182 Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 his exact words were "Here is a clean Gibson Dirty Fingers pickup that I took out of a brand new Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy GX guitar about a year ago." it is stated in the link i have posted. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=120575304210&view=all&tid=0 It is the ebay listing with 3 pictures of the pickup thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BentonC Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 They appear genuine. The Prophecy models use gold pole pieces: http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=292&CollectionID=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
