Help me figure out what pickups are in my guitar?

[Twh]

So I bought a Jackson King V kvt (link below) that should have SD ‘59 and JB Pups. About a week later l, the lady I bought it from reached out saying she had another Jackson pickup. It was her late husbands guitar and she really has no idea if he made any modifications. The extra pup she gave me is a black humbucker with a Jackson J-50B sticker on the back. No branding on the front. Can any Seymour Duncan or Jackson experts shed some light here? I’ll try to attach pics of the extra pickup

The extra pup is a little gunky which makes me think it was in a pick up cover which this guitar has.

Also how much work would it be to pull out the pickups in the guitar to look at them ?

Thanks!

That is a Jackson J50B from the late 80s or early 90s. It falls into the slightly hotter PAF range and comes stock with an A5 magnet.

Hmmm any idea if they’re only used in Jackson guitars?

Jackson makes them, so I'd assume so.

Judging from the wax in the picture, it probably was covered, most likely one of the black plastic EMG style ones with the Jackson logo on it. From what I could gather on the Jackson/Charvel forum it's a US made pickup, kind of a hot PAF. In addition to Jacksons, those would have also come in some Charvel models from the same period.
