Members fragglerick Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 These are from a Gibson SG estimated to be a '70 to a '74. I've never seen pups that look like this on the bottom. Just trying to figyre out if they're original or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members walfordr Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hard to tell. It looks to me like they've been repotted at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fragglerick Posted March 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 The black stuff doesn't feel like wax. It has a 'heat-shrunk" plastic feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mc5nrg Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 There was a period when Gibson was big on epoxy potting certain pickups like the Bill Lawrence designs.Are those regular size humbuckers or the smaller ones used on certain SGs?Anyway the metal shielded cable certainly seems right for Gibson.

They're full sized humbuckers. It definately seems like it could be epoxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
