IS THIS PICKUP GENUINE?

[geckobaldy]

I have spotted this on ebay.

Is it a Gibson with the plastic hookup wire?

I bought one similar in the 70s from London on the basis it was a Gibson but there are doubters amongst my friends.

I would appreciate anyones comments and any eye witness accounts.Thankshttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390187431579?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

IMO it's real..............IMHO, I see no reason to pay anywhere near that price though.......

from what i can find gibson did use this plastic wire in the early 70's so that matches his date of 72, below is a link to another website with the same wire

my 2001 SG had black plastic. 2008 trad had vintage braided

 

the embossed Gibson appears genuine too comparing it to other examples I have seen

 

to be honest, I have no reason to doubt if they are Genuine or not, Personally I wouldnt pay that much for the embossed logo stamped on the front its not my taste but thats my oppinion

I have two original 72 pups with embossed gibby logos and original surrounds sitting in my parts box, and I would never sell them for that much .....Right now I'm looking for a Norlin Gibby 335 project to throw them in

Im trying to track down the cover which my friend removed about 6years ago when he installed it in a guitar he made for me.He wasnt convinced it was a gibson with the plastic insulation.
