Black/white Slash pickups?

[Wound_Up]

Ok so I've got one other theory.

The blk/wht pickups aren't the Slash pickups. They show a blurry pic of the label on the box and I swear it says 11104-8-B or whatever it is for black pickups.

Except they aren't really showing those pickups. They're just showing the blk/wht pickups mainly and the black ones are in the background in one or two pics.

Still, when you consider all the evidence, like the blurry label on the box, it still seems like a scam. I've already pissed off the seller so I'm not going to message them again and ask about the black pickups in the background. Someone else can if you'd like. I'll add a link to the sale ad.

This is the extent of pics of the black pickups. You'd think if they were the Slash pickups, they'd actually have pics of those and not the ones installed. Something is fishy.

Final update. This will be the only double post from me. I swear.

I spoke to the seller again and asked specifically about the black Slash pickups and the part number on the packaging in the blurry pic. The ad now has been updated with newer pics and an explanation. It appears that the Slashes are installed in the guitar and are actually all black. The previous owner supposedly put a white sticker over those bobbins to make them zebra and the seller just removed it.

It makes sense. The neck pickup is still installed backwards, just like the blk/wht pickups, so it appears that he really just took the white stickers off. I guess I could look around for white bobbin stickers with the large circular cutouts and see if I can even find any similar to those. It could still be a scam but it's looking less like it.

Pretty sure I'm gonna pass on the guitar anyway so at this point it doesn't matter much. I'd want to see pics of the pickups in the packaging to make sure those aren't the Slash hb's and that they're still in the guitar if I were seriously considering it.

Anyway. I can put this to rest, now. Thanks, everyone! I appreciate it!

Edit: here's some red stickers that are exactly like the white stickers that would've been on the pickups if they actually existed. Same large holes over the holes in the actual bobbins.

Just popped in to say...those are Bobbin Toppers!

But Wound Up already figured it out.

Pretty sure the Slash set was offered in reverse zebra and regular zebra?
