I have a 1980 Gibson Sonex (which I love, by the way... it's sort of like a slab LP with plastic and wood sandwich body). "Resonwood"! "multi-phonic body"! Definitely space-age.
The Gibson zebra HBs on it have 3 screw mount tabs instead of 2, which allow you to adjust the slant of the pup to match the string angle. On the other hand, they prevent you from turning the HB around, unless you change the plate.
Can anyone tell me more about these HBs? Did Gibson use them on other guitars of the period or beyond?
