Gibson dirtty finger humbucker

[paulyy]

Trying to find out any info about this pickup. I have one coming that needs a rewind on one coil. The other coil, I told reads at 7 ohms and it has T tops on the coils. I havent seen the pickup yet but he thinks it might be a dirrty fingers. Any ideas any one. Thanks.

That sounds like a T top. Dirty Fingers have two rows of screw poles and read 16K, or 8K per coil.

You mean 7K right?

They have 3 ceramic magnets underneath and the coils are wrapped in copper shielding foil, be sure you don't destroy that. I have a set I've been meaning to back engineer but haven't gotten to it yet. Poly wire but haven't mic'd it yet so dont know the gauge...

It sounds like a T top to me too but I asked if it had 2 sets of screw poles and he said yes. Im thinking he doesnt get what I was asking.

Well he went ahead and took apart the bad coil already and tryed to see if he can fix it him self. I told him to leave it alone until he has the ok from his wife to spend the money to have me fix it. I dont know if it has copper shielding or really what it might have. He said he'll email me pictures as soon as he can. I think when I see it, I'll be able to tell if its a DF or a T top.

I think the Dirty Fingers have a taller bobbin despite having a T on top. They're not the same as regular TTop bobbins...
