59b from MJ

[EmiAba]

Hi
I got a 59b wound by MJ at a ridiculous price. It meters at 8.45. Could you please help me date it?

Yours does not have the "Made in America" stamping into the baseplate under the Seymour Duncan logo. That means yours was made before 1987 or so.

Stewmac sells high quality tape of that exact sort. Cloth ones too.

You can also get some for cheaper at Amazon.

Mojotone and Philadelphia Luthiers do also.
