  • Can anyone identify this pickup?

    I took this neck pickup out of a '79 The Paul that I got used to see what it was, since it wasn't the Gibson stock t-top. Pulled it out to find Seymour's signature on the back, and some heavy solder, but not much else. Can anyone possibly identify what this might be/when it was from?
    Is there a range of time, or specific models that are known to be hand-signed? Thanks!

    Probably antiquity. You would need to take an ohm reading.

      Yes, probably an Ant. Looks like his not too recent handwriting - lets say end of 90ies to beginning 2000, but all stickers to date it exactly are gone.

        Welcome to the forum!

        So, how cool does that sound?! I always liked 'The Paul' models, too.

          That pup didn't originally have that much solder on it. Even if it had a stock cover on it to begin with, at some point it was removed and replaced...maybe several times.

          But, yes, take some readings on it...each coil separately and together in series.

            Thanks everyone, never got around to taking the reading and forgot until now! Multimeter says 8.32. Anyone have any idea?

                  If it's 8.32k, it's an Antiquity Bridge wired in the neck position, missing it's cover and two labels; one stating the position it was intended for, the other would have been the serial number with another hand signature on top.
