I am hoping that somone will be able to ID this pickup for me.
I have been searching the web but could not match it up.
It has been fitted into a 1962 Gibson L7C guitar. Which is as I bought it more than 30 years ago
So the pickup must be dated from around the late 70's maybe early 80's ??
If this information assists you......
No stampings or markings other than 3 initials hand written in what looks like a black felt pen "GPB or GRB or CPB or CRB" . Can’t see anymore without wrecking the P-up.
The thin transculent paper looks similar to that used by paper capacitor manufacturers.
The glue packs the windings into the pressed gold plated cover, which was very cleanly welded in the corners prior to plating. It looks like early manufacturing. Very neat.
There are 2 x separate rough sand cast strip magnets 2.25” long under windings. Like the early alnico bars.
The screws pass through the split between the 2 magnets.
Looks very much like a early P90, but gold plated
Cheers and hoping someone can throw some light on it.
