Old Pearly Gates Bridge Pickup

If you read Seymour's story about Jimi Hendrix, you will learn that Seymour took painstaking notes on all parameters of all pickups he made. I have seen commercially available forms to note very single detail of a wind. It's rather a problem of over the time available materials, that will change the product.

My PGs are also bright when old. You can always just roll the tone off a bit. ;-)

Here is the front. Will post the back as well. 4 conductor.
Just wanting to find out the probable mfg date. From what I read here about the back, may be late 1980s.

AI get and upload error trying to attach photos. The sticker on the back has PGBJ.
I have one of the very first - Randy made it for me back in the 70s when he was still building 'em at home in the shed.

OMG - it has a J on it!!!! It is pure magic wound by the virgin hands of MJ herself and blessed by the baby Jesus to have purely righteous tone! No other JB's were wound with the same materials, specs and care as this one!!!!

Use imgur.com to host your pics, then post them here using the "img" code they provide
Are you trying to determine the approximate production age of your pickup? Definitely need pics for that.
The "PGBJ" type labeling was standard from '82/'83 up through the early '90s if it's ink-stamped. If it's a computer-printed label, it's even newer.
