Les Paul Special 2 2006 - pickups?

[cato1281734179]

I just bid on a Special 2 manufactured in 2006 [October I think, if that matters]. Does anyone know what kind of pickups it has? Most reviews say that there was a switch to a somewhat higher quality pickups at some point, but no one really says when that happened. Was there ever a big quality jump in the Special 2 series?

 

Here's the serial if it helps:

Hi Cato,

 

The pickups in the LP Special II are as follows:

 

NECK - Epi. Model 650R HB, (Enhanced Highs) Ceramic 8 magnet, 12.85K

BRIDGE - Epi Model 700T HB, (Overwound 650R) Ceramic 8 magnet, 16.6K

 

Same pickups also used in these other models:

1.) SG-Special

2.) SG-310

3.) SG-310 Emily Strange

4.) LP Special II - Red Wine Finish

5.) Les Paul 100

No big change in PUPs I can verify.

 

Faded...
