A number of years ago, I wanted a brighter-sounding pickup for my '59 Gibson archtop, and a tech installed this SD 2BJ type. But it was never as bright-sounding as I wanted. I now suspect he screwed up, because the 2BJ is apparently intended as a bridge pickup, and this guitar has only a single pickup, at the neck position.
But they also say that single-coil pickups have a brighter tone, and I do think it's probably single-coil. I can't tell for sure, as I cannot figure out exactly what it is. I'd really appreciate some help figuring this out. Here are a few pics.
Any idea what this pickup is?
