Ha, I would love to think so but I doubt I would be that lucky. I'll assume it's the normal stuff and then I won't be disappointed

Crikey, that's more than I paid for my 1980 SA1200

Curious how you know, doesn't really look any different from my SA1200

Well..... Guitar playing acquaintance is probably closer as we only met as a result of his YouTube channel, but he only lives an hour away and we often meet up half way for a coffee and swap of gear. He's had a few of my guitars, a dozen or so pedals and my Cornford amp on his channel over the...

I've only just come across this video. Here the tone twins shoot out a Dry Z with a genuine PAF. The tone twins have links with Chris Buck but this dry Z doesn't have anything to do with him having been loaned by Simon Howells https://youtu.be/gpa-Gt1M_HE Here's a picture of it without the...

For reference, Chris Buck bought a EGF1200 last year that had only the neck pickup dry Z remaining. https://youtu.be/OLlOu-Dk1Ac Here's a picture of the base with the distorted Z stamp https://youtu.be/sigF2ICbZA4 I haven't seen any pictures of it without it's cover but the serial number is...

I just leant my SA1200 to a mate who does YouTube videos. I thought he'd like it but not consider it much different from all the other guitars he's played. I was wrong. He loved it. https://youtu.be/EukK0KyBrx0

Sorry for the long delay in replying. I don't check this site very often these days and have no alerts for when someone replies to a thread. I have no idea what guitar they were taken from as they were sold (by villager) as a stand alone set. This was back in around 2007 (I think, I'm getting...

It does seem a plausible explanation. I did come across another picture of a set of pickups with three holes that claimed to be Dry Zs whilst searching google images. Had to go through a lot of pictures to find it and there was no real information when I went to the actual site so take of that...

Here's the neck pickup from my set Like I said I bought this set 10 years ago from a Japanese guitar dealer. I've never had reason before to think they were anything but genuine. I have an all original SA-1200 also fitted with dry z and these ones are certainly comparable

I'll see if I can remember to have a go pulling a pickup tonight.

I'll see if I have any time over the weekend to pull one of the pickups and see what's on there. When did this three hole thing not being dry Zs come about? I don't remember it ever being discussed when I was more active on here 10 years ago, and I can't find any discussions on it searching...

Can I just jump into this thread with my example of a set of Dry Z (or not). I bought a set 10 years ago from a well known Japanese guitar dealer on this site. They look identical to the ones posted by Wulfman in post 2 with the two round holes and the third square hole at the edge. They also...
