zombiebear Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I am restoring a guitar for a friend. Story: It's a no-name Japan SG look a like. His friend gave him the pickups out of his Gibson In the Early 80's. He put the Gibson pickups in his SG Look a like. I would like to know if these are true gibson pickups. If you need more pictures, or anything, Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Yep, they're real Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfox14 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 That's definitley a Gibson patent number used on a lot of PUs. For sure they are the real McCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Perhaps Tim Shaw era pickups...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiebear Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thank you guys! Any idea on how much these would be worth, if anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thank you guys! Any idea on how much these would be worth, if anything? Interesting question..........To make a profit off them, or to sell them for a realistic price to a real musician ??? They aren't really rare......Or vintage per se.......Check around on e-bay, etc etc.............. I don't feel comfy saying what they're worth money wise....They will sell though...............

zombiebear Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks! The only reason I asked was because this guitar is going up on a wall and sitting there, to never be played again. Figured for the reason, if worth anything, sell them to someone who will use them. Again, thank you everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The pups are "used" pups that are not a type that would be in high demand. Probably 25-50 bucks each. The most they would be worth would be for someone restoring a guitar to original and need those pups, AND if they were in like new shape, so they might cost 100 bucks or more from a parts vender who specializes in these things, which you aren't. (Just so you know, if you were to see then priced higher at a vender, it doesn't mean that is what you could sell them for or what everyone is paying). It's cool that you would be concerned or care enough to check. I think it would be worth it to sell them to a parts vender for someone to be able to buy them if they need them, or take them out for future use when you run into someone who could make good use of them.
