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

Big Tone, Thanks for posting the images

Interesting to see all the attributes of the pickups in the two photos, including the third (squared) hole.

I am curious; do you know what guitar the pickups were removed from?

I'm glad they sound good to your ears!

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 fuzzy on the exact year) and I'm unsure how long he had them before I bought them.

For reference, Chris Buck bought a EGF1200 last year that had only the neck pickup dry Z remaining.

Here's a picture of the base with the distorted Z stamp

I haven't seen any pictures of it without it's cover but the serial number is fairly close to mine
Chris's 820226
Mine 820204



Would be interesting to see a picture if he ever takes the cover off

Edit:
I've just checked the DC resistance for my set and they come out at 7.58k for the next and 7.71k for the bridge, so right in the supposed target zone

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

Here's a picture of it without the cover showing 3 hole in the bobbin


And a shot showing the stamp

Pity there's no serial number left on it
