Just bought a Les Paul studio for $230, and decided to give it a cleaning. What was inside was kind of odd:

It's a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the neck labelled DP100. As for the bridge pickup, I am stumped on what it is, don't know if it's a Duncan or a Gibson or just some piece of junk, but at some point it DID have a cover:

The bridge is a Nashville style stamped Made in Germany, again probably Schaller. The insane checking/orange peel on the neck and back is kind of leaning towards a refinish at some point during it's life. The tone pot for the neck is frozen. No movement at all even after a drenching in contact cleaner w/ lubricant.
Any suggestions, tips, etc would be appreciated.
