My latest buy, the ES-115 CM has what seems to me like boutique pickups.
Anyone ever seen pickups like that.

After a major setup of bridge, neck, pickups, the guitar sounds and plays great.

The bridge pickup in pic, the other one has the same signature and 312 or 3/2 written on it.

Thank you!

I don't know what the pickups are, but it looks like they could be something pretty cool!

Could the 3 and 5 refer to Alnico 3/5 magnets maybe?
 
could well be jvsearch, thanks. Alnico 3 and 5 is a common combo for neck / bridge, innit?

Do you happen to know what caps are usually in Tokai ES - wiring.
Because as far as I can tell from peepin into the f-hole, there are quite massive caps in there, look like old pio caps.

Seems the guitar has been upgraded a bit.

Okay there are vintage Bumble Bees in the guitar and what looks like CTS Pots. So the previous owner knew his stuff, just not how to set up a guitar, lol.
Nobody seen this pickup before?
