Learning more about my Pickups

[Beate]

Hi people,

 

i would like a bit more about my pickups. I bought them almost 30 years ago in a german semiacoustic (an old heavily modded Fasan which needs massive restauration), where they must have been put in around 1974/1975. Yesterday i put them into a Samick Greg Bennet Royale III.

 

Some details i know: obviously both pickups are bridge pickups, aren't they? The pickups carry Patent No stickers, not PAF stickers.

 

Comapred to the (80s? Neck?) PU also by Gibson i use in a DYI built guitar these pickups are both extraordinarily brilliant and yet transparent, and they have much more output than the "PAF". Which sometimes makes them hard to amplify. They have "long legs" and unlike the PAF can be fitted in guitars with jazz guitar bridges.

 

What i would like to learn: about when have they been manufactured. For which type of guitar?

Of practical importance: what is known on the corresponding neck pickup? Does it sound differently? How? Electrical resistance?

 

Thanks for any help
