Hey guys,

Is there a way how to spot if my pickups I have in my SS are original or not ?
Im not quite sure … this is my first tokai


Best regards
 
Pics would settle it, but generally: Low-end and mid-tier model SS pickups are alnicos with grey fibre bobbins, either stamped H or S or with no stamp at all. S-stamps have staggered poles, the others flat. The leads are usually blue and black. The high-end SS80 has a set of DiMarzio FS-1/DP-110 Fat Strat with black bobbins (plastic, I believe?).

Voidoid, I referenced you in another thread I started on Silver Stars. Would be great to get your insights.
