Nice pics but it looks like any number of humbucking pickups.

The baseplate holes/bobbin lower shape/tape/height and markings on legs/wire color = can't be any humbucker imho.

Maybe if someone has the same on his guitar ?
Looks like an old Greco Mint Serie to me, the ones found in SG.

Marcus is correct. From what I can tell it looks like a plastic spacer inside there. All of the Greco pups I have seen have had wood spacers. I have seen plastic ones in Burny pickups.

The baseplate holes/bobbin lower shape/tape/height and markings on legs/wire color = can't be any humbucker imho.

What markings on legs? All of the other things mentioned look the same as many other pickups.

Wood spacer for Greco, that's a hint thanks.
From Burny SG why not, never had one with braided wire.

Look at the T markings on leg, as old PAFs, also length of leg is shorter.
Look at the junction leg/baseplate (square indent).
Look at color of wire through hole = plain enamel as good PAFs.
Look at square/round holes on bobbins.

Just open your eyes :wink:

Don't you like antiquities :lol: ?

Real PAF's had L shaped tool marks

Hard for me to tell. It doesn't look purple in the pic.

Look at square/round holes on bobbins.

Many pickups have that. With real PAF's the square was usually not center of the circle.

Just open your eyes

Huh?

Don't you like antiquities ?

Not much. I have tried several sets and only found 2 that I liked. They were first year production. I liked the Seth Lover better. I have tried many pickups and have had several apart. Are you now saying that these are Duncans? Do they have standard or metric threads?

Look at square/round holes on bobbins.

Old Greco and Ibanez 70s and early 80s Maxon pickups only had 2 holes on the bobbins. Most Japanese pickups don't have the end square hole on the bobbin although some Gotoh's do so maybe it's a Gotoh pickup.
Gibson PAF's and DiMarzios and Seymour Duncans do have the end square hole on the bobbin.

Interesting. I have a Screamin'82 that does have. Oddly enough the squares are not punched center either. I wonder if Gotoh made some of these.
